<em>Many of the laws contained in the Codex were aimed at regulating religious practice, included numerous provisions served to secure the status of Christianity as the state religion of the empire, uniting church and state, and making anyone who was not connected to the Christian church a non-citizen. Basically if someone didn't have any religious beliefs then they would be called a non christian. There is so much more to this law the just that. The code of Justinian is also known as The Body of Civil Law.</em>
