if you hadn't assumed everybody on this planet had a myspace account, you would have made more sense to me.

Many cults in fact. The ancient Christians were very fractured, and split into many rival camps.
Constantine called the Council of Nicene to construct an official Romanised brand of Christianity, and decide which books to include in the Bible.
The Roman Empire was very fractured religiously at the time. As well as Christianity, Mithraism, and Orphism, the old pagan religions of Greece, Egypt, Italy, Anatolia and the Near East were still alive and well.
It was later under the Emperor Theodosius that these were outlawed and active progroms carried out. There was a lot of resistance in Roman provinces with priestly castes--such as Egypt, Phoenician, Syria and some regions of Anatolia.

Constantine didn't "allow" Christianity, he created it from a cult which was built on the teachings of Paul (who grew up in a major Mithraic center called Tarsus and never knew Jesus). Jesus was an Essene Master, and heir to the throne of David through his father, Joseph. Sorry. He's not a god. Jehovah is an ancient local mountain god who dwelled on Mt. Sinai.

No. Constantine allowed Christianity because he didn't have any other choice. All of the major cities in the eastern half of the Empire were Christians. Only the majority population in Rome and the rural areas of the empire were not Christians.
And considering that the Jews still worship Jehovah, I'm guessing that one would have survived.

But he did so we'll never really know, and I think Christinanty was one of those things that was meant to be.

No.
This "question" has no actual connection with the bible or with Jehovah's Witnesses.
