During the Cold War, it was meticulously and rightly argued by scholars of various stripes that the Soviet Union created what was known as "godless communists."[1] These "godless communists" built their ideology on Marxism/Leninism, an essentially diabolical system that sought to eradicate religion during that era.[2]

These "godless communists" failed miserably largely because you cannot fight Logos and win. Moreover, the fact that Russia has thrived over the years is a clear indication that Alexander Solzhenitsyn was right all along. Back in 2013, Vladimir Putin changed the political calculus by saying that much of the West was committing political suicide. How?

Ideologues, said Putin, were surreptitiously declaring that "faith in God is equal to faith in Satan." For many, that was an interesting move by Putin. As Patrick Buchanan put it then, "In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God's side. The West is Gomorrah."[3] Putin said:

"Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God, and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation."[4]
