I didn't watch this video. But have studied the fall of Rome.
The fall of Rome was far more complex than religion. And religion was not one of the major factors.
It may have been the final blow for the Byzantines, but it was not the cause of their fall, and had very little to do the the split.
Until the end, Rome embraced a multitude of religions, and generally didn't care. That didn't change until Constantine, and Rome had already fallen.

There were many causes working toward the downfall of Rome. The biggest were decadence and a firm believe that Rome was too big to fail.
Religion may have been on the list, but it wasn't near the top.

Here's a simple summery that may give you a better idea of the causes.

History channel has been known to do shady things in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_(U.S._TV_network)#Criticism_and_evaluation

I know religion was the reason because this happen when religion was just starting to become a thing to everyone else. it was not just Rome, many other like India or China also fought for religion within the timezone of "fallen Rome".

The main point is that people in those times knew which religion was real and which was fake. Even today we know Christianity was not built by god(s) but by people, its roots are with Islam.

Dude, no.
Seriously, no.

I didn't learn it from that article I linked. I linked a short summery for you to learn from.
I learned from years of study. Books and classes on ancient civilizations.

Do a google search and you will find every credible source will say religion played either no part, or a small role.
That's not my opinion. It is documented history.

happen when religion was just starting to become a thing to everyone else

No. Religion has been around thousands of years before we started to write. When Rome was founded there were already many religions across the world.

i knew you didn't know anything because in the history article did say religion was part of it. Yet you say it wasn't plus you said you learn this even though many high schools did also say religion was part of the problem. Anyone who studies Rome's fallen times knows religion became a threat to the people because they were forced on to it, many other countries and empires also reported an increase of forced religion within that time.

What you think of fall of rome, is an event that happen once which is not true. Everyone knows it happen years onto other popular empires, what you saw or read is a mistake in many books across america. Ask anyone outside of usa and you read different storys, americans storys are always the most made up in any history context.
