What Christian Paradise? Russia and Hungary Are Less Religious Than San Francisco

By Luther Ray Abel

A periodic reminder that the poster child of sin, vice, and sexual decadence, San Francisco, is more Christian (judged by frequent church attendance) than the leading examples of so-called Christian nationalism.

Despite what Tucker and the Hungarian Hipsters (terrible band . . . derivative) would have Americans believe, Russia and Hungary remain godless countries. The former’s sanctioned churches are allowed to exist insofar as they are compliant with the government’s grip, and the latter’s religiosity is, given the low church attendance, little more than cultural association. Their abortion rates would make them the highest (Russia) and fourth-highest (Hungary) per capita were those “desirous” countries counted as U.S. states.

 

There is a profound irony in the American Right looking for answers in sclerotic Old World nations with compromised state religions. Skip the Cyrillic lessons and just rejoin England if you miss it so much.
