        They use religion to sway the public. Putin may rule with an iron fist, but he absolutely does so with the help of religious rhetoric.

          That’s not what a theocracy is. Plenty of politicians around the world use religion to gain support from the public. Some of the only surviving theocracies exist only in the Middle East.

          Religion is a useful tool for Putin, but he isn’t subservient to any religious leader.

            You moved the goal post out of the conversation. Good job on being uselessly correct, dumbass. All religions when in power do fucked up stuff but you’re hell bent on ignoring most of them.

            Good job missing the forest for the trees.
