What Roman ruler first adopted Chritianity as the first Roman official religion?
The emperor Constantine was the first Christian emperor of Rome, or at least that's what most people believe. Constantine never converted to Christianity during his reign, but it is alleged that he had a "death bed conversion" by his friend Eusebius, who as a bishop of the church, and had an agenda to promote Christianity.All Constantine actually did was to make Christianity a legal religion. It wasn't until Theodosius I, in 380 AD, that Christianity became the official religion of the empire.
What are the results of Constantine converting to Christianity?
A number of results followed Constantine's alleged conversion: Firstly, persecution of Christians ceased. Secondly, Christianity, although not yet a state religion received a degree of encouragement from Constantine. Thirdly, following from the above came a degree of damage to the Christian ideals of separation from the world. People now flocked into the Christian churches who possibly were so in name only and seeking to win royal rather than God's favor. Fourthly, also following from the second point above, Constantine himself, despite a clear lack of knowledge of both Christian behavior and attitudes, interfered in various doctrinal discussions. Despite his earlier assistance at the council of Nicea, he later accepted Arius and favored him, despite Aruis' clear heresy. Fifthly, as far as Constantine himself is concerned, his behavior was ever that of a secular prince, although outwardly professing Christian conversion. He committed murder and other evils after his alleged conversion. He retained the title of pontifex maximus, the highest position of the former state idolatrous religion. Constantine's decision to leave baptism to his death bed, in clear violation of Christian doctrine (although some undoubtedly taught this false idea to him), indicates his failure to understand true Christianity and his continued reliance on ritual rather than the blood of Christ and an inner change of the heart for salvation. This event indicates a decline from apostolic doctrine and practice, a decline which his patronage undoubtedly strengthened.

What led Constantine to his Christianity conversion?
His conversion is probably a fabrication convenient for Christians. He harnessed the Christian bishops as a second arm to his control of the Empire. He is alleged to have converted on his deathbed, so if it was real, his conversion was an insurance policy in case his Mithraic religion membership might fail him. In fact, he merged his imperial cult of Sol Invictus (Invincible Sun) with Christianity - look at all the Christian notables for hundreds of years afterwards and you will see the sun's image behind their heads. This was later converted to a skinny halo to avoid the embarrassment of an ever-present sun-cult in Christian depictions.

What was Constantine's policy toward Christianity?
Emperor Constantine noticed the internal discipline of the Christian Church and hoped that by encouraging Christianity he could encourage unity in the empire. Michael Grant (The Emperor Constantine) says that at the very outset, the Donatists and the Arians demolished Constantine's idea that the empire, with Christians in charge, could become a single harmonious unit.In 313, Constantine and Licinius jointly issued the Edict of Milan, building on Galerius' Edict of Toleration but going a good deal further by granting positive advantages and privileges to the Christian community. These benefits were not intended to accrue to Gnostic Christianity, which was treated as an illegal heresy. At the behest of the Bishop of Rome, Constantine soon declared the Donatists illegal, but eventually gave them the right to exist.As sole emperor, Constantine funded the construction of magnificent churches and paid the stipends and expenses of the Christian clergy out of imperial funds, although Christians were only a very small minority of the population. People of ambition soon realised that opportunities for advancement in imperial service were offered to those who became Christians. Emperor Constantine began the long persecution of the pagan temples, which would result in the public worship of the old gods being declared a capital crime by Emperor Theodosius in 391 CE.Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) suggested that Constantine’s conversion of himself and his subjects to Christianity was one of the principal causes of the fall of the western Roman empire, which ceased to exist 139 years after his death. Grant says that the most that can be legitimately said for Gibbon's thesis is that Christianisation may have accelerated the process.
