Putin is oppressing religion, not allowing free practice of it, and he is establishing a state church, corrupting it, and conspiring with it to keep out uncorrupted Christians.
That is deadly and anti-Christian, it is corrupt and evil.
~That is deadly and anti-Christian, it is corrupt and evil~
Okay, it seems like useless to argue with you.
Bear in mind, we are talking about a country there are visiting any church was about as socially acceptable as drug addiction or prostitution just 30 years ago. One could loose a government career if/when she has baptized her newborn and coworkers learnt it.
Any move further, including corrupt government-friendly church, let alone pro-Christian statements from a national leader is a giant leap.
