This is a teachable moment. If you get summoned for jury duty, and are politically aware, you need to be on that jury. Not only can you keep innocent people out of jail when the stasi come for them, you can nullify laws by acquitting every person charged under same.
Well, yes, leaders have often instituted a state religion change in order to shore up their power. I don't think it was because Christianity was inherently weak.
Christianity survived despite sometime Roman efforts to eradicate it. I'd say Christianity was, if not strong, then at least persistent. I think Constantine saw the value in a religion that was evangelical. That welcomed new adherents and that people could mass-convert to. It probably seemed new and interesting coming from the frontiers of the Empire.
