Because the resolution was put forward by Russia as a justification for its annexation of Crimea. Abstaining signals that you can be anti-Nazi and also be unwilling to support a cynical Russia ploy to legitimize its land grab.
You’re forever yammering that atheists don’t get their facts right when it comes to religion. Maybe you should hold yourself to a higher standard of fact checking when it comes to geopolitics.
