There's an entry in Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words under the entey "Cross" that explains how pagan symbols became accepted as Christian. With the sudden adoption of Christianity as the official state religion, there were suddenly to many converts to teach properly and the Church was overwhelmed.
During the Reagan years, multi-level marketers discovered churches as a source of customers and prospective sales associates and joined in such numbers that the Church was over whelmed and soon abandoned Christ in favor of worshipping Mammon newly decked out in a Jesus Halloween mask.
