... Are we really going to go through every nation that isn't. One by one western nations are legalizing gay marriage and protecting their rights. Look at how people react to the west borough baptists. They hate them for hating gay people.
Russia is more religious than you think. They have embraced Russian orthodoxy with some passion. Though I see Russia's anti gay sentiment as an attack on western values as a big part of it.
The hostility to religion is not so big as it was during Stalin's era. But there are still lots of atheists and anti-theists as an influence from the communist time. At least they aren't so religious as the US. I think it's more prejudice than any other thing.. Even Stalin didn't like gays
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
