*sees cross in sky*
*converts entire empire to religion associated with said cross*

That didn't happen.
He just said that happened like 20 years later when Christianity was "a thing".
In the meantime he just let his dudes worship whoever. When it became convenient he was like "Oh YEAH! YEAH that totally happened!" and it was right at the time he had to make some important christian dogma official that he decided that "gently caress yeah! I saw the cross in the sky! AND I'M the emperor! So...I'm right! So listen to me!"

...and then the christians still felt slighted. loving Jews-lite, am I right?
