In 313, Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, legalizing Christian worship.

The canon is tricky. There were several, however, around the year 300, Eusebius recorded the New Testament canon as being what we know today.

State religion in 313, as per Edict of Milan.
No one knows exactly when the Catholic Bible was canonized. Various Protestant canons came later.
With regard to the answer above: Schneb isn't quite right. The year 300 was way too early for the New Testament. More like 800 or 900.

Approx. 313 - 325 C.E.
It was a somewhat gradual process.

Most decent civlizations base their laws upon Judeo-Christian principles, including (and especially) the United States.
