Christianity specifically. Before that religions were very regional or less accepting of strangers. Christianity and its message of universal acceptance made it so you could literally have “family” in every major and minor city in the known world. It was radically different and one of the reasons it spread as quickly as it did. It’s also why it became a problem for rulers - all of sudden their subjects had this other, transnational allegiance, which is something kings don’t like.

I hadn’t given enough further thought to it to determine which religion specifically, but I had lines of thought leading this direction; thank you for the contribution 🫡, pretty much agree
