Innovators (2.5%)
In the first century, a small band of people began following a radical teacher named Jesus. They risked everything for an idea that seemed impossible: love your enemy, turn the other cheek, a Kingdom not of this world. These were the innovators of Christianity.
Early Adopters (13.5%)
Apostles like Paul spread Christianity beyond Judea into Greece and Rome. Early communities formed. Letters were written. The message began to take shape as a movement.
Early Majority (34%)
By the 3rd century, Christianity became widespread among Roman citizens. It was no longer fringe—it was becoming mainstream.
Late Majority (34%)
Constantine’s conversion in the early 4th century and the Edict of Milan legalized Christianity. Suddenly, the late majority joined what was now official and respectable.
Laggards (16%)
Pagan traditions persisted for centuries after Christianity became the Roman Empire’s dominant faith. Resistance lingers longest here.
