Constantine did no such thing. The Edict of Milan legalised xtianity (along with all other religions in the Empire) but did not establish it as the official roman religion. That infamnia was the work of Theodosius I, Gratian and Valentinian II in the Edict of Thessalonica in 380, long after Constantine's death.
Constantine was a murdering thug. But he generally killed his political enemies. He personally was probably a follower of Sol Invictus ( most of the army was ) but he had to reward his supporters after he won the civil war.
