The point that Putin meant is that the religions of Islam and Judaism are politics. They claim to have God, but what they have is idols. Why? They don't accept Jesus as God and Savior of the repentant people. | "In God, however, the Word and the Spirit are not mere effluences. They are Persons; and they are as much persons and as much God himself as the white-haired Ancient of Days whom we must learn to recognize as but one of three Persons, namely, the Father. The other two are the Word, or the Son, and the Holy Spirit." | Until people realize this, they are going to be worshiping idols, even if the idols are themselves or other people.
