"The Age of Constantine the Great" is one book that states it. Basically any book before like... 1945 that was written after the church had lost it's "main" influence.
It's really only contradictory to what you've read because lately people have gone with the "he was legitamitly a christian" angle even though there is no proof or change.
It was the actual "main belief" that persisted once the Church stopped dominating things and tried to portray Constantine ina n ideal light.
All books on Constantines motives are theorizing though. It's worth noting though, and this is a historical fact.
He didn't convert to Christianity until days before his death.
