1.3 Ukraine and the West are “Satanists”?

Example: Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov claims that Russia is embroiled in a holy war (Twitter) or this: It is a war against devils and satanism, a war with NATO (Twitter)

True or False: FALSE

Almost all countries in “the West” are Christians of different denominations, with more or less significant minorities – of which NONE of them is Satanism. Many western countries are also highly secularized and have a significant share of atheism or agnosticism, and are rather non-religious by choice. Compare to e.g. the Soviet Union, where atheism was promoted and widespread.

We challenge anyone to find documentation that suggest that Ukraine, Europe and the US have any significant population of Satanists. It’s just absurd – an incredibly stupid and ignorant statement telling more about the absurdity of Russian propaganda than anything else.

Summary: No, just no. It’s nothing but absurd. It’s obviously FALSE.
