UGGGGGGGG, Putin never was an atheist, most Russians are not and were never atheists, even under Stalin. Russian Orthodox Christianity was always favored in Russia, it simply was restrained from criticizing the state like any other aspect of society, but it was still the majority religion in Russia.
Same stupid "godless" claim about Cuba. Cuba is NOT an atheist nation. It is a very deeply religious nation. It is simply that the state doesn't tolerate anyone questioning the party, even the favored religion.
Putin has quoted his Christian God in defense of anti gay laws and has said "We are all God's Children" in reference to not wanting gays to influence children.
The reason he wants the "don't offend religion" laws isn't to protect every religion, but to protect Russian Orthodox Christians. Pussy Riot was defending minorities and political dissent, Putin shits on pluralism.
