Sleazebag politician and murdering thug. He made two serious mistakes.

One was demolishing the Roman military machine which had kept the empire for 3 centuries and the other was legitimizing a bunch of nutty old fucks with a silly superstition and thinking he could use them to "unify" the empire.

It appears that christianity already had grown earlier than that:

"The imperial support that Constantine gave to Christianity had a great impact. Obviously Constantine legalized Christianity in all areas of his empire. In the eastern half of the empire, a stronger population of Christians always had existed."

Why?

Google "cargo cults". Or "Mormonism". Or "Scientology".
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
