Whether the conversion of Emperor Constantine was a positive or negative thing depends on your perspective.
But for Constantine's support and patronage, as well as the ensuing persecution of the pagan temples, Christianity might well have remained a minor religion in the Roman Empire. So, from a Christian perspective, it was very much a positive thing, leading to Constantine being labelled Constantine the Great.
For pagans, it was a negative thing. Constantine began the long persecution of the pagans, the looting and destruction of the temples and eventually the forced conversion to Christianity.
Even for the secular empire, it was probably a negative thing, because Constantine embarked on an ambitious program of building magnificent churches across the empire, thereby contributing to the demand for higher taxes on the middle classes, who, according to Edward Gibbon, were sometimes forced to sell their daughters into prostitution in order to meet these impositions.

What is the difference between positive and negative angles?
Essentially, none. Every negative angle can be made positive by adding 2*pi radians (or 360 degrees, or a multiple).
Is the absolute value of a positive integer positive or negative?
The absolute value of a positive integer is positive. When taking the absolute value of any integer, one is essentially removing the sign (whether positive or negative), always leaving the remaining number positive.
Will a negative minus a positive equal a negative?
Yes, when you subtract a positive number from a negative number, the result will indeed be negative. This is because you're essentially moving further left on the number line. For example, -5 - 3 equals -8, which is still negative.
What happens if you put a negative number on a positive number?
When you add a negative number to a positive number, you are essentially subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. The result will depend on the specific numbers being added, but in general, the sum will be smaller than the original positive number.

Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
What is a negative - positive?

The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
If a negative is divided by a positive is it negative?

Negatives and Positives Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative Positive + Negative = Negative
How are multiplying integers and dividing integers alike?
a negative x a negative= a positive, a positive x a positive= a positive, a negative x a positive= a negative, and a positive x a negative= a negative. Same thing with division. a negative divided by a negative= a positive, a positive divided by a positive= a positive, a negative divided by a positive= a negative, and a positive divided by a negative is a negative. U see?
