“363AD, shortly after the Constantine Edict made Christianity the official religion”

That statement is incorrect.

The Constantine edict of Milan of 313 AD legalised Christianity (it was illegal before). It did not make it THE official religion.

Only with Emperor Theodosius in 378 AD was Christianity made the state religion
