Updated Answer(From an agnodiestic):
The idea of Christianity has been around long before it was even a 'legal' religion. It was a very small and illegal religion until Constantine legalized it with the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. His idea was that Christianity could help unify Rome, because at the time it was suffering from great turmoil and divide. Constantine didn't fully embrace the Christian faith though, so the Christianity that he allowed to live on, and that you see in the Roman Catholic Church today is one of compromise between Constantine's Roman Paganism and the original Christianity.
