Putin is no saint. But the US is now a far more powerful force for revolutionary atheism than Russia. That is, when we're not installing new governments that recognize Islam as the law of the land, as we have done in Iraq and Kosovo.

Even in the 1960s, astronauts were worried about whether Madalyn Murray O'Hair would successfully sue to stop their Christian activities in space.

Sure you can be a Christian in Russia, just so long as you join the church which the KGB ran and which is still run by those who served the KGB, and still serve Putin and his Chekists who have never denounced the KGB, lament the collapse of the EVIL EMPIRE, and are still proud of their unswerving lifelong service to Soviet Communism. If you will not join their KGB “church,” then you will be persecuted, that is unless you are muslim, buddhist, or a jew, the other officially recognized religions of Russia.
