The Byzantine Empire didn’t create a new type of Christianity. Instead, it played a major role in shaping and promoting what became known as Eastern Orthodoxy.
Here’s some context:
Christianity existed before the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople, emerged from the eastern half of the Roman Empire.
Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century.
Over time, theological differences and political tensions arose between the eastern and western halves of the Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire.
This culminated in the Great Schism of 1054, formally splitting Christianity into two branches: Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism (the Western Church).
