Actually, at the point that Constantine had his death bed conversion, Arians pretty much ran the empire. Immediately following his death Athanasius (the great Trinitarian champion) was exiled and Arianism became the state religion. Arians then persecuted the Trinitarians and killed off the pagan priests as well.
