Russians have made it a crime to say in public that God doesn’t exist. Because it hurts the feelings of religious people (who make up 2% of the population).
It is not a crime to say in public that God does exist, no matter how much it might wound atheists.
I can’t fully explain how very funny this is because in order to get the hilarity one needs to know how utterly unreligious the country is and has been for a century.
Leaving the Russians aside, the criminalization of hurt feelings is cropping up everywhere around the world, and it’s very scary.

Wasn’t Communism, for the longest time, noted in part for it’s atheism?
Is Russia returning to some of its ancient religious roots?

Exactly, nobody is a believer any longer. Only 2% of the population in Russia even practice religion. But this is a way to create fear among people and criminalize speech.
