It was the good old strategy 'if you can't beat them, join them' pioneered by the devil himself.
That's what happened when Emperor Constantine became Christian and introduced unbiblical beliefs into the church corrupting it thoroughly. An effect the Christendom still suffers from today.

1) Edict of Toleration (ended persecution in western Europe)
2) Edict of Milan (ended persecution throughout the Roman Empire, but was soon violated by Licinius)
It had nothing to do with Constantine's conversion to Christianity (which occured decades later). Both edicts granted universal religious freedom to all faiths, including Christianity.
And, of course, the *actual* answer to the question gets immediate thumbs down. Score one for the intellectuals.

Edict of Tolerance, which was a degree that allowed freedom of religion, not just for Christians.

Constantine's invention of the catholic cult. Catholics are not saved, but are a Babylonian pagan cult. Constantine created his own religion.
