A man on trial in southern Russia faces a possible one-year prison sentence for having written "there is no God" during an internet exchange.
He was charged in Stavropol for having "insulted the feelings of worshipers". Such "insults" were outlawed in 2013 after the Pussy Riot case, in which two punk performers were jailed.
The relevant Russian law provides several alternatives to a one-year prison term in such cases, including a fine of up to 300,000 roubles (£2,900; $4,083) or up to 240 hours' forced labour.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
