Putin's re-Christianization of Russia and witchcraft ban

Jul 24, 2026

A claim that the war on Russia is driven by hostility to Christianity, framed as sympathetic to Putin.

  • Putin is trying to make Russia more Christian, rebuilding churches and calling it an Orthodox country.
  • The argument: the people pushing the war hate Christianity most, and that push is why the war started.
  • If Putin had left the oligarchs running things and not revived Russian Orthodoxy, the claim goes, there would be no war.
  • Putin banning witchcraft is praised, with a jab that the "witchcraft lobby" is too strong in the US to do the same.

Outlook: More of the same culture-war framing of the Russia conflict as a fight over religion, not territory.
