If Constantine actually was converted to Christianity, the main people responsible for the conversion were Eusebius and Constantine's mother Helena. Both were religious fanatics and it would serve their purposes very well if they could say that Constantine was converted.

His real conversion took place at the Battle of the Milvian where he had a vision of a cross with the words "By this you win" he had his soldiers adorn their shields with the symbol of the cross, they were victorious, and he began to support the Christian Church financially after that.
