Russians are becoming more and more religious, according to a poll by state survey company WCIOM.
More Russians claimed they relied on divine help or intervention and more believed in predetermined fate than they did 25 years ago.

One of the reasons why DC & the globalist hate them so much.

You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:22
They will use this to push into Europe. They are already talking about “divine” right and other such stuff.
Reminds me of David Wilkerson’s book The Vision, in which he predicted freedom of religion would slowly be limited in western countries, but that Russia would turn to God. He also mentions that Asians would evangelize China, which is happening now. (some estimate ten percent of China professes Christianity, often brough there by disapora and Hong Kong Chinese who establish house churches).
Wasn’t that our justification for taking the lands from the Indians?

Well it’s a good thing they pushed into Syria because we were just looking the other way while genocide was happening against Christians.
Amazing how Obama, the UN, our government just liked the other way.
God doesn't need America, we need Him.
“One of the reasons why DC & the globalist hate them so much.”
Yep. They bitterly cling to their guns, icons, national identity and sovereignty. Dirty retrogrades.
How I envy them!
A welcome change for our Russian friends, the Lord be praised.
Agreed. All those prayers, all those decades for the conversion of Soviet Russia. Answered.
We should take heart for our nation and the West generally. We could enjoy the same.
From all that we have heard about the Russian churches re-building the terrorist destroyed churches in Syria , I can believe the Russian Christian population is growing. When they are called by God and respond, growth will occur. They have a mission. Faith without works is dead.
Compare that with the old line American churches in steady decline. Why? They are wrapped up in social issues not compatible with Scripture - same sex marriage, acceptance and promotion of homosexuality as normal and good, same thing for transgender and on and on. God will not pour out his blessings on these churches.
Donald has a very good point when he would build a relationship with Russia by emphasizing those areas where there is commonality and working to eliminate the differences. Differences he acknowledges are significant and profound. It may be worth the effort.
This phenomenon is not just confined to Russia itself. There have been measurable increases of Orthodox Christian faith in the Baltic countries since the yoke of communism was lifted there as well.
To get a sense of what Russia is coming OUT of, google “Russian anti-Christian posters”.
Me too.
