The Christians would go around preaching about Jesus dying for your sins and the Romans would round them up and put them to death. They however believed the message was more important than even their lives and would refuse to denounce Jesus even when faced with hungry lions.

Elements of activism:
1. A civil police force using brutality to simply silence citizens being absolutely peaceful.
2. The idea that the message will change the world and it is a cause worth pain, hardship, suffering and even death to proclaim.
3. The fact that it actually worked and the efforts to silence the message actually helped it spread even more.
