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.
