I think you miss the point that countless apologists point to that point in history as when the pagans fell as rulers and when the religion took off. There was nothing to the rise of Christianity other than marketing for it to get as big as it did. Constantine is widely pointed at as the point of when the world changed, according to Christians.
Yeah, whatever. It seems you introduced the question as nothing more than a red herring to distract attention from the failure of your original point.

And now we're back to groundless speculation designed to unshade an opinion that was not well founded.
