There is an explanation that the emperor of the Roman Empire won a battle thanks to God. What the emperor Constantine was reported to have seen at battle was the symbol for Christianity. As such an inspiring event to him, Constantine was reported to have converted the the Roman Empire to Christianity. Now this is the fluffy cloud version that simply won't go away. The truth of the matter is that Constantine never adopted Christianity as the official religion and it's doubtful if he even converted to Christianity himself. Christianity became the official religion well after Constantine, during the rule of Theodosius I in 380. He made Christianity the official religion because he was a Christian himself and because of the growing power of the Christians.
