The First Council of Nicaea was a council of Christian bishops convened that settled the question of the divinity and humanity of Christ and the relationship of Jesus and God.
This council resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Creed of Nicaea or Nicene Creed that is spoken by many Christians to this day:
"We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the begotten of God the Father, the Only-begotten,
that is of the essence of the Father.
God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten and not made;
of the very same nature of the Father,
by Whom all things came into being, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.
Who for us humanity and for our salvation came down from heaven,
was incarnate, was made human
...
By whom He took body, soul, and mind, and everything that is in man, truly and not in semblance. ..."

Could it be that the way most perceive Christianity is based on a bias of the first council of nicaea?
It is unlikely. Many believe that in that council Emperor Constantine manipulated that council to strengthen his reign, but this simply is not true. The council was not called to decide what Christianity WAS but to decide what it was NOT. Almost every council that has been called has been a response to a heresy that arose at that time. Christians already agreed and had agreed since Jesus on the divinity of Christ. The council was called because a few outlying heretics called Gnostics challenged the HUMANITY of Christ. These Gnostics believed that the material was completely evil and the spiritual completely good. Thus Jesus could not have been really human but only God. Thus, the first council merely affirmed the humanity of Christ which was already the traditionally accepted belief. To summarize: The councils do no CREATE belief systems, they AFFIRM or CONDEMN.

The council decree that Mary was the "Mother of God" was meant to clarify that Jesus, conceived by the "Holy Spirit" [thus being born true God] and born of the Virgin Mary [born as true man] defined the dual reality of Jesus as true God and true man. Jesus conceived by the Holy Spirit, [true God] and born of the virgin Mary [true man]. The title "Mother of God" applied to the virgin man was meant to help understand the hypostatic union of Jesus.

The heresy which forced the calling of the Council of Nicaea was?
In the first Council of Nicaea(A.D. 325), the heresy about the relationship of Jesus to God the Father was condemned.

Also, the council discussed issues about early canon law, calculated the date of Easter, and composed the Nicaean Creed.
