How did European Countries become Christian ( And from there to America and Australia )
Israel , where Jesus lived in Arab Desert is far-far away from these European Countries
Was there some Preacher or something else that made People as far as England believe in Christanity
 
Paul took it to the genitiles, Peter took it to Rome, Constantine made it the official religion of the Empire, invading German tribes became Christian to become more Roman, England became Christian, Christian English people went to America and voila!
 
catholicism was the religion of rome, rome was sacked and taken by the germans. The german continued the religion across europe, It was later brought to the americas where people either converted or were killed. Lutherinism sparked calvinism and the puritans in europe which came to north america.
 
one answer to you
the roman empire
it ruled the known world,(south Europe and the Mediterranean) and one of it's emperors, by the name of Constantine became a Christan, most of the roman empire followed him, and the rest is history.
well it's all history... and you should study a little of it
 
It started with the spread of Christianity into the Roman Empire, and it eventually spread across Europe during the middle ages. Europe then spread Christianity to Africa and the Americas through colonization.
 
It became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 under Emperor Theodosius, and all other religions were banned and persecuted.

Later this Roman-centred Christianity sent out Crusaders to suppress other religions, such as the Cathars and Wends, and missionaries spread the belief too.

So a mix of oppression, persuasion and destruction of all competing religions.
 
Well, it came to Scotland (which is *even* further than England) via various missionaries in the 5th and 6th centuries although it took a while to replace the Celtic pagan religions which were already here.

Thankfully, Christianity is rapidly following those religions into history...
 
The Roman Empire took Christianity as their main religion I think, leaving behind the Ancient Roman Religion. At the time Rome has dominated most of Europe thus Christianity soon spread. The Europeans then immigrated to America and Australia, taking their beliefs with them.
