Constantine saw Christianity as a united, disciplined force that could be put to the service of the empire. Constantine cleverly gained the support of Christians in his own army, and even in the armies of his imperial opponents, to fight for him personally. He gave Christianity substantial state patronage, and in return received unwavering support, even the accolade "Constantine the Great", a term never used by his pagan subjects.
Whereas the army refused to steal from the temples to enrich the state treasury, Constantine was able to send Christians to plunder the pagan temples while the pagan priests stood helplessly by.

In what role did Constantine help spread Christianity?
The Roman emperor was traditionally the head of the pagan religion, required to perform certain pagan rites annually. So it was that Constantine caused offence (in 312, 315 and 325?) by failing to celebrate the Secular Games and by refusing to ascend to the Capitol to sacrifice to Jupiter. Instead, Constantine saw himself as the head of the Christian Church. He completely controlled the bishops and chose every bishop when a vacancy arose. His dominance over them was embodied in the statement "my will must be considered binding". Concerned at divisions in the Christian Church, Constantine called the Council of Nicaea and ensured that its agenda passed. In return, he provided considerable state patronage for the Church and began the long persecution of the pagan temples.

How can religion contribute to uplifting a political situation?
The simple answer is that it cannot. Religion is the politics and system of a belief. It is impossible for one political system to help another. Belief cannot help politics much either, unless you have high integrity, or you have learned how to foresee (Numbers 12:6) which is the basis for all major beliefs. So in that religious leaders offer nothing spiritual (use of dreams and visions) there cannot be any uplift... but they pretend that they do and offer soothers as a placebo that the unknowing accept.
