You're comments show that you're disconnected from what's happening in Russia and so making some false assertions based on your distorted understanding.
(Right)
That's great you recognize religious freedom in Russia today extends to more than just Christians; however, the Church is supporting the current government because the current government has stopped persecuting it and is now helping it.
(I wonder why Putin is now catering to them? Perhaps we'll learn more later)
And the Church isn't a few orthodox religious leaders going against the will of the people as you appear to think
(Das Straymana Comrade!) but exactly the opposite. The Church has experienced rapid growth since the fall of the Soviet Union. It's grown so fast, in fact, that it's currently about half the population of Russia and trending upwards quickly.
(I'm aware, I wonder why Putin is catering to them?????) That number doesn't include those who support Christianity in Russia but haven't converted yet. Atheism has dropped to 13% of the population!
You have to understand that before 1991 you were in great danger of losing your career, having your wealth taken by the state, being imprisoned in a hard labor camp, and possibly murdered by the state simply for NOT being an atheist.
(It varied accordingly to the goverment, Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev had very different policies toward it) That's an amazing turnaround in such a short period of time. The church enjoys the support of the vast amount of the Russian population today. They have been working hard since the collapse to turn things around.
And the suicide rate has dropped 50% since 1999 and continues to decline as a result.
Also noteworthy is how hard they've pulled together to reduce unemployment
(Like dropping and cutting pensions for disabled soviet veterans) . Most people are still poor, of course, but at least they are working now and able to pay for all their essentials with a little something extra. Countries with growing economies and very low levels of unemployment don’t typically collapse and that's where Russia is today.
And as I stated in previous posts; Russia is laying plans to create a smart, moral, population of citizens for the next generation.
(With the exception of the government corruption of course)
