Paul's Writings Underpin Western Thought

[Brian37]

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.

Then why do so many theists point to Constantine as an important figure to the rise of Christianity?
