Though Constantine made Christianity the official religion, he still retained his pagan beliefs. It was for political reasons he made the change. He could see the streangth that Christianity was gaining and that the old ways would soon be done away with. The change was for political reasons only and not in his belief in a Christian God.

What is the newest religion among Islam Christianity and Judaism?

From one perspective Islam is the oldest religion and from another perspective Islam is the newest religion.Explanation:Actually Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world. Now among Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, Judaism is the oldest, then there's Christianity, then Islam. The great prophet Abraham was the patriarch of these three religions. But again, it shouldn't matter how old the religion is, because if that was the case, then Hinduism would be the right religion (I'm not trying to offend anyone, if you're a Hindu, then that's fine with me.) So, Islam is the newest religion among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; so does that mean that Islam is wrong, I don't know, you decide. It really doesn't matter to me what religion you are, I'm not God, and I can't judge you, only He can. We all have to live in this world, so stopping judging people because of their religion, and that goes for everyone, not just Muslims, Jews, and Christians, but everyone. I hope this was a good answer!
