On the bright side, at least it isn't holding back their scientific progress like religion generally does: "Zoom to Mars in 6 weeks with new Russian nuclear-fission engine": rt.com/news/334416-russia-space-nuclear-engine/
scientology and atheism should be banned, good job
Brandon Jenkins
russia is an authoritarian shithole what else is new
although banning that cult isn't exactly a bad thing
Ayden Davis
Give me a reason why any of this is a bad thing?
Bentley Ross
>Scientology >somehow linked to atheism Wuuut. "Scientology" has nothing to do with scientific method, it's a literal sect who preaches about green space lizards.
William Green

Jayden Bailey
Scientology is not science you dumb Amerifat.
Connor Cox

atheists,just like fags should keep their shitty beliefs to themseleves

I guarantee you this is the only reason Russians did this. To piss off the Eurotrash communists.

William Long
Just to remind you, Putin is an atheist. There is no way you can become Chief of the KGB by being even remotely religious.
It's all an act. He is using Plato's tactic that religion is a noble lie necessary to unite and control the populace.
Just a clever way to control the dumb hordes. I dont even disagree with the tactic.
William Baker
Scientology should be banned along with Mormonism tbqh. They're not real religions.
Evan Bell
Russia has a 18% Muslim population. Are you seriously trying to imply that the Savior of Christianity is a country with one of the largest Muslim populations?
Brandon Howard
>There is no way you can become Chief of the KGB by being even remotely religious
Where are the proofs?

>Atheist on trial for these comments Yeah, we have a law that you cannot set out to insult Christianity.
>Church seeks to take over internet: This is just free wi-fi. It is not them taking control of the entire internet.
>Protestants are banned from proselytizing and referred to openly as "heretics": So? Russia is Orthodox.
>Judge rules Russian Church can pay debts with prayer: That is fine, debt forgiveness is a big thing here because of the Soviet era messing up the economy. Russia also forgives a lot of foreign debt.
>Banned swearing in artistic expression: This is just the same sort of law that countries have regarding swearing on TV before certain times.
>Banned freedom of gay expression, fires teacher for supporting gay marriage Good, we do not want that here.
>State and Church sign agreement to restrict abortion Good. Abortion is a real problem here.
>Russia contemplating switching to an "Orthodox" system of finance that would drop out of the IMF and ban interest on moneylending: I think this is more just banks offering an alternative model.
Ethan Martinez
His mom was deeply religious. Putin claims he didn't really get into Christianity until much later in life, when building he was taking a sauna in burned down, and among the ashes he found the cheap aluminum cross his mother gave him. He said it shouldn't have survived the flames and so he started to see things differently after that.
Hunter Davis
>Protestants are banned from proselytizing and referred to openly as "heretics"
wow based
Oliver Garcia
>Russia is the Saudi Arabia of Christianity I have no problem with this whatsoever.
David Barnes
>There is no way you can become Chief of the KGB by being even remotely religious. Plenty of people did it in secret to avoid the Soviet authorities, even at the high level.
Matthew Richardson
I never said Russia was any kind of savior
I think they've always had a Muslim population that high, at least the territories they incorporated today
Lucas Rodriguez
Good. Look what atheism brought us.
Austin Rogers
Why does this number change so much? Amerifats are always making this number higher every few days.
Nolan Price
It hasn't impeded scientific progress there yet, but once they stop teaching biology and start teaching"pray for healing" they're fucked.
Alexander Wright
I don't see anything newsworthy.
Gabriel Morris
scientology i find to be complete nonsense but i don't understand the irrational hatred people have towards it. if people want to waste their money and time on something that promises everything but delivers very little then they should be entitled to. on what grounds exactly do anti-scientologists think they have for banning scientology?
that aside, Putin is just a manlet meme with an inferiority complex. nobody takes anyone under 5'8" seriously
Ian Reyes
Sounds like some BS "wow, really makes you think..." story he made up. I agree with the SAnon, I do think Putin is just using Christianity to rally and unite the masses under it. Which, really, is the only purpose religion should have.
Aiden Bell
Ban feminism next (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ*:･ﾟ.
Jace Powell
Anything that Russia does, Sup Forums will immediately say is based. It doesn't matter what it is, it will always be defended here.
That's why when it comes to Russia I can't really take this board seriously.
Oliver Diaz
>on what grounds exactly do anti-scientologists think they have for banning scientology? The go fuck yourself grounds. Established in Russian law in 1278.
Kayden Myers
Just google persecution of the religious in Soviet Russia. You must be completely dense to think the head of an organization who heavily took part in the suppression of religious people and orginizations and outright murder of religious leaders has any affinity for religion.
He is just a clever chief spy trained in deception and he uses religion as a tool and it has worked extremely well in Russia to gain him support. He is also a politician now and a ex chief spy. Can you get anymore dubious? I think not.
Lucas Moore

I don't have a problem with the money wasting, I have a problem with their outright subversiveness (maybe you haven't heard of the time they infiltrated the US government?) and how aggressively they try dealing with dissent.
Jacob Walker
>Russia disposing of edgy fedora atheists Good. I'm an atheist myself but I'd prefer to live in a Christian country and can't stand the faggots that feel the need to show how much smarter they are than everyone else
Levi Morris
Yeah dude, he just happened to become religious later in life when he stopped getting payed to fuck up any subversive groups in Russia including religious groups.
So convenient, so trust worthy.
Justin Butler
Fucking third world shithole, why do russians not stand up for this?
Cameron Ortiz
I refer you to the go fuck yourself clause of Russian law.
Justin Kelly
It's the same with Trump too.
Owen Nguyen
If he is a christian he is the most hypocritical christian of them all and an evil one at that. He was the Soviet authority that the religious were scared of.
Nicholas Diaz
Scientology isn't just money-wasting, it's a pretty dangerous cult. Read up on some stories from people who've tried to escape from it.
Ryder Jackson
What's wrong with Trump Aussie?
Leo Richardson
Scientology is a cult that takes advantage of the "followers" that it extorts money from and has no place in civilized society. They don't even have battle toads. Atheism should not be banned, even if atheists are annoying and cringeworthy. Godspeed Putin.
Hudson Allen
Well he told the story long before he was President or PM, so I don't think so

It is a bit more complex than that. Even the current Communist party of Russia supports Orthodoxy now.
Henry Cooper
So? Nothing wrong with that.
David Parker

Cameron Green

Lincoln Reyes
Yeah allot of people, especially politicians have used religion to gain them favor with the retarded religious. Take your country for instance, do you really think Obama is christian? Not a fucking chance, but he cant say that or he would have no chance at winning.
Thomas Murphy
I like your style Ivan. underrated post. my family was from Russia
Nicholas Adams
>He was the Soviet authority that the religious were scared of. people can change.
Gabriel Reed
Was he really involved in operations to disrupt Christianity? That's very interesting.... I'm going to tell my friend that, she's America but she's annoyingly fond of Putin and sometimes it seems like she cares more about Syria than the U.S.

Because it is just common sense.
Jackson Rivera
Those are just Russian propagandists.
Jose Morgan
Scientology should be banned
Being Atheist cant really be banned, what can be is the militant Atheist fags who cant shut up about it. If someone wants to just silently not believe in God, no one would care
Some countries like to defend and preserve themselves from big threats whose effects can be seen a couple of countries away. HOLY SHIT THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD HURRR DURR.
