Yup, all those souless atheists that are packing the churchs every Sunday, Saints day and any other day there is service. You know homosexuality has never been legal in Russia....but in the "I'm gay and proud of it USA" though... As for taxes 13% flat federal and 24% corporate...sure does make an inviting change from 30% and about 50% respectively.

Going to church doesn't make one a believer. For example, France is full of churches but very few real believers. It's empty Christianity - a shell. However, if there is a genuine revival in Russia and not merely the same old Orthodox churchianity where people march to the big ornate buidling in lockstep, then yes, there is hope for Russia. If people are realling seeing the emptiness of atheism and coming to know the true God, then I would say there is hope. However, their state atheist schools have been indoctrinating people in naturalistic atheism for 75 years and still do - getting past that will be tough.

As for the taxes, so what? Russia is dirt poor. People will not flock to a destitute nation. Russia is desperately poor.
