What was England like before Christianity? When did Rome bring Christianity to England?
Before the Romans came, the British were pagans, worshipping many gods and goddesses. They apparently had a cult of the human head, which was regarded as sacred, and they were known to practice human sacrifice. They had a caste of wise men called the Druids, who were wiped out by the Romans when they invaded. They appear to have been regarded as a threat to the Roman social order, inciting the natives to rebellion etc. Before the Romans became christianised, they worshipped many gods and goddesses. They had the habit of identifying local gods wherever they went and combining them with their own deities. so for instance, at Aqua Sulis (Bath), the local goddess of the hot springs, Sulis, was combined with the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, to make the goddess Sulis Minerva. If you go to the Roman baths in Bath today, you can see the head of the great statue of Sulis Minerva. the roman empire became officially Christian in the 4th century AD, but there were many converts to Christianit
