I really don't care what religion mr. putin professes; nor is it my place to say. what I observe of his leadership is dictatorial. dictatorship is antiChristian by axiom.

therefore it follows from my observation that his professed religion is merely that.

my observation could certainly be mistaken. But I wouldn't bet that way, and haven't for the past 5 + years.

Of course he could change course, and begin to show signs of being true servant of his people, and many hope he will.

Or perhaps we'll find out someday that he always has. But I think the facts (as I understand them) contradict that.
