My claim of "no proof whatsoever" could easily be debunked by a single solitary piece of evidence. I am aware of none. Are you?

I'm assuming you won't accept anything written by Eusebius so I didn't post it. Off the top of my head there's a letter from the emperor to a bishop ordering the construction of a church building in which reference is made to "Our Savior's grace". I realize that's not exactly overwhelming but it's enough to get him killed for being a Christian by a muslim I would imagine.

Oh, I imagine Eusebius wrote many things which were true and many things which were completely unsourced. I am not about to get into an exercise to determine which of the writings of Eusebius to accept and which to reject.

Frankly, a reliance solely on Eusebius for the "facts" concerning Constantine is not a place I am willing to go.

I repeat, I have seen no evidence concerning the "Christianity" of Constantine.
