Constantine wasn't interested in any minority, specifically. Constantine, particularly near the end of his life, was interested in anything that robbed power from a conspiratorial majority. The imperial cult had lost control of the imperial apparatus at this point. Later emperors would blame the decline of civilization on precisely this.
