Paul's Writings Underpin Western Thought

[Angrboda]

Christians composed a very small minority of the Roman populace at the time.  It's hard to see in what sense adopting Christianity would have meaningfully been any kind of political expedient.

For the same reason today in America we have a MINORITY of far right Christians holding the rest of America hostage. He saw something in the tide, not just the religion itself. Personal beliefs aside, it was still tactical.

Christianity is far from a minority in the U.S. Your contention is just silly. Whether Constantine saw something in any supposed tide or that a minority that is not part and parcel of a larger majority might have influence, you've walked back from assertive claim into the land of speculative and far fetched nonsense.
