Christianity was a divisive factor in the Roman Empire. It caused unrest not only between the Christians and the pantheists, but between the Christians themselves as the early Christians had several sects and they were always bickering among themselves.

How did Christianity contribute to the fall of the roaman empire?

Christianity did not contribute to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. This part of the empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire, which was also Christian, was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Pagan Romans thought that Christianity had weakened the empire by weakening the fighting spirit of the Romans. This view was incorrect and was a reflection of prejudice.

Why German Viking and Magyar tribes contributed to the fall of the roman empire?

The Vikings did not contribute to the fall of the western part of the Roman empire. They emerged as a power some centuries after the fall of this part of the empire. The Magyars, the ancestors of the Hungarians, reached central Europe in the late 8th century, long after the fall of the western part of the empire. They did not contribute to the fall of the Eastern Roman (byzantine) Empire. Initially they attacked areas of the Carolingian Empire in Italy and southeastern Germany. They did conduct some raids into the Eastern Roman Empire, but on a minor scale. Later they helped the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire in the defence of Eastern Europe against the Turks.
