Why Do Some Politicians Hate Religion, Faith and God?

Women in the USSR

The following comments come from a book Under the Rubble, by Alexander Solzhenitysn, Mikhail Agursky, Evgeny Barabanov, Vadim Borisov, F. Korsakov and Igor Shafarevich, Regeny Gateway, Washington, D.C., 1981. See Schism Between Church and State, pp 172 ff by Evgeny Barabanov.

The USSR leaders hated God and tried to destroy every religious leader they found. Why did they kill so many Russian Orthodox Priests and Protestant Ministers? 

It might be summed up as "Socialism is a religion and very jealous of any other God." They always act with total brutality when it comes to attacking a rival such as a traditional religion. 

The destruction of individual human relationships is essential to socialism. Love, family, parenting, compassion, concerns and responsibility to assist others is rejected. In fact, the worth of an individual is rejected. (P 58) 

Anyone reading the Communist Manifesto with an open mind will be shocked to see the space given to the destruction of the family, rearing children away from their parents in state schools and to wife sharing.

The basic principles of socialism are: Abolition of private property, destruction of religion, destruction of family and destruction of individual human rights. All such groups think sex within marriage is one of the worst things imaginable. Women and children always suffer the most from these socialist regulations for they are given the hardest work.  (P 30)

This is exactly what happened under the Socialist governments in Europe and Asia. While proclaiming belief in the rights of women and children these groups receive the very worst treatment. 

How can we respond as Christians? Our call from God was clear. Go to Russia with Faith hope,and love and start by teaching about Recovery from Alcohol and Drugs. 

We did what God said. As a result have been training leaders in former Communist countries for 21 years! Why is it taking so long? The number of people who suffered abuse and neglect from the 70 years of Communism was overwhelming. Plus the churches and Christian groups that usually ministered to the poor and needy had been forced out of business. And, the people are so damaged that repair takes a very long time. Destruction can be fast but Recovery is very long and hard with many relapses. 

Christ is the only hope for Russia. See How to be me in My Family Tree.
