Remarkably it is how much church gained in influence again since the fall of the CCCP. I always shake my head and think "Russians, please don't follow the lead of the church only to produce a counter-culture against the West with its childishness that it hides among other things under the term "freedom". Seperate childishness and foolishness from freedom, it cannot be that hard for people whose overall education is about to overtake that of the West.".
The thing is that they call it Russian culture and going back to its roots with church etc but in reality it is an easy way to manipulate people, it is easier to direct them to church and make pray for better life than let people be educated and understand there is no god that will solve problems for them. Plus people are in denial and if things go wrong, they try to use church as a psychologist. You know how it works: people pray and 50/50 chance they will get their wish granted so people turn to church for relief.
Ps Maximmkasssr below asked me to say that to you: " Our elite is extremely primitive and uses easy ways and schemes. But it creates new problems." If you want to respond to him, I will translate.
I figured that it's some kind of issue like that. Maybe beause I don't have anything to do with belief and through psychology it formed the position in me that God is something that starts in your head and that ends in your head

Religion plays role in birth rate but I don't think it is a case with Russia. It is a demographic crisis in Russia and being the largest country in the world it is underpopulated. I don't think people follow the religion with rigor as other concessions in the world. i don't know, maybe baptists do. I had a friend at school, she moved to Germany at the end of 90s. Her family were baptists. She later married and had 12 kids or something like that.
In Russia it is more like filling the gap of lack of education and daily problems plus nationalistic propaganda calling to get to the roots of culture. But mind that when Russia was religious it was also oppressed by zhar.
In numbers I had the impression like the gap that had been cut into the wilderness in the darker years it has been about to be in the state of being refilled again. So that would make population would grow if there added some more
