This is an old fight. The Russians (when they WERE religious) were Orthodox, like the Cypriots.

They are religious. Present tense. There was an unfortunate 75 year interval when the atheists took over but Russia is an Orthodox country. More so every day.

I think so called Orthodoxy is as backward and corrupted as Islam is.
Look an any Orthodox country. Russia as a modern center of Orthodoxy, Greece, Serbia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia - all has the most corrupted governments and lowest GDP per capita among the white nations.
Russia, Greece, Serbia are just a bit above the 3rd World level. All other of the above are technically 3rd World.
