I believe that you are merely speculating on the individuals participating in the riots, and don’t actually know what those 97 people’s religion or non-religion was?
It’s confusing, because you sound like you know, and that those individual’s lives have been looked into to answer this question, is that the case?
We don’t know. Likely nobody knows. Just knowing about Ukrainians in general, the majority at least considers themselves Orthodox (either Ukrainian or Russian) or Catholic (a couple of varients) with a few Protestants (mostly Baptists.)
So we’re talking statistically, not imperical knowledge.
“I believe that you are merely speculating on the individuals participating in the riots, and dont actually know what those 97 peoples religion or non-religion was?”
If you have information to the contrary, post it. Otherwise, what I have said stands because it is based on common sense.

Yes, I know, and the lives of the dead have been looked into. I know - based on common sense and a great deal of knowledge about the region and its peoples - that the vast majority, almost all, of the dead were Catholic or Orthodox. If you have proof to the contrary, post it.
You will fail to do so, of course.
We also don’t know the composition of the peaceful protestors, and how many of them chose to remain when the shooting started.
