I’m not nearly so sure about Putin’s Christianity as you. As I remember, when Putin visited Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, he was interviewed by kids at the local High School, he was asked what his religion was. His answer: I am an atheist.
Might it be that Putin, that old former crafty anti-God KGB agent, only uses the Russian Orthodox Church to further his political aims? I would hope his alleged conversion is genuine, I have my doubts.
Putin is as much of a Communist as Gennedy Zyuganov, the leader of the Russian Communist Party.
Read the CPRF website, and you will see that they agree 100% with the actions of the Putin government.
