Scuse' wordsmith. If Catholics et al want to pretend it's just a swipe at them and knit pick the argument, they've been free to do so on the religion sub. It aint about religion. It's about how groups from all walks have abused history and rewritten it with preposterous notions to serve their own ends. That the Catholics happen to be religious has no real bearing on the issue at hand. If you want to make it a religious issue, you can take it to the religious threads. The History on Constantine speaks for itself when looking at the actual FACTS instead of the Popular notions.
This is what the author is speaking of and it is what I have attempted to expand upon in discussion. Knit pick that.

The History on Constantine speaks for itself when looking at the actual FACTS instead of the Popular notions. OK, fine. Please expand.
Which facts definitively tell you that Constantine was not a Christian? Constantine has been considered a Christian since his death by those who recorded his times.
How can you compare a 1500+ year traditional historical interpretation with Afrocentric mumbo jumbo that was created in the past 50 years to further a political agenda?
How can you state "Constantine was not a Christian" and then say that your statement has nothing to do with religion?
