Religion in the Byzantine Empire was Christianity, where everyone goes to church and worship God. Two churches people went to were the Eastern Orthodox. Beliefs in the Eastern Orthodox church was that they were in agreement with right beliefs based on Jesus Christ and the bishop. The church’s role in the empire is that the church is all powerful, people went to it regularly, religious sacraments were part of life, and the monasteries cared for the people. The power in the church is from Emperor down to Patriarch down to the Bishop and down to the Orthodox Priest.
