Jewish religious tribalism was going nuts at the time, Roman paganism was dissolving in cynicism.
Also, Roman paganism had abandoned patriarchy, and as a result Romans had stopped reproducing.

Really? How did you learn that?
By reading the histories of Josephus, who came mighty close to being forced to suicide by Jewish religious fanatics.
lolwut - that was allegedly because of his fight with the romans and I assume it's all made up bullshit anyway. Probably he betrayed and sold his comrades to the romans. Anyway, I took a look again at that "antiquities of the jews" abortion, and it turns out I overlooked what that 'book' really is (or perhaps had forgotten about it) I kinda assumed the book was some pseudo historical 'chronicle' about joo criminals, and how they looted raped and murdered (that is, a typical 'history book'), BUT it turns out that the 'book' is copypasta of 'religious' mental diarreah. Here's the opening, and the same garbage goes on for hundreds of pages " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But when the earth did not come into sight, but was covered with thick darkness, and a wind moved upon its surface, God commanded that there should be light...." "When God gave the signal, and it began to rain, the water poured down forty entire days, till it became fifteen cubits higher than the earth;" <--- that's how the joo nazi god exterminated all non aquatic life on the planet (take note, Cecilia) - and bla bla bla endless lunatic rantings. Now according to mighty wikipedia, josephus "was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian" but of course josephus actually was a prime example of joo lunatic scammer who robotically parroted joo lies. So even if the "jesus" passage wasn't a blatant forgery, the source and its author are a laughing stock from the point of view of any half serious 'historical' research. but hey, according to james "Romans had stopped reproducing" because of "josephus".
By reading the laws of Augustus, who was simultaneously emancipating women (revealing that his nominal religion was dead in the water) and pressuring men to get married (revealing that men no longer wanted to marry emancipated women).
Christianity is around because the state needed a religion, and because Christians had children.
"the state needed a religion," - the part about christian reproduction is of course nonsense.
Over and over again, throughout the last two thousand years, it has been demonstrated that people who adhere to the Pauline laws on marriage reproduce at about seven live grown children per woman if there is adequate food, people who grossly deviate from these rules reproduce at slightly less than two children per woman, even if food is abundant.
Peoples that have bad marriage laws fail to reproduce and disappear from history.
Either we replace our current state religion of progressivism with a religion that supports marriage laws that enable people to safely form families, or we get replaced by conservative Islam.
Either way, female emancipation is going, but the second way it goes because our people, our culture, and our civilization disappears.
