Constantine worshiped Apollo because he was a pagan. He was born a pagan and most likely died a pagan. Somehow, over the years the idea that Constantine was a Christian took hold, but it is a misconception. Constantine made the Christian religion legal and legitimate, and exempted Christians from the worship of the state gods. He also oversaw the Council of Nicea, but these were for political reasons rather than spiritual ones. The story of his deathbed conversion, while it may be truthful, could very possibly have only been done to quiet the people around him who were urging him to convert and not giving him a chance to die in peace. The religious leaders, in particular the church historian and friend of Constantine, Eusebius, were quick to publicize this death bed "conversion" and so the misconception of Constantine being a Christian was born.
