"Militant atheism is a reckoning for slavish ideas about God, for the adaptation of historical Christianity to the dominant forces. Atheism can be an existential dialectical moment in the purification of the idea of God, the denial of the spirit can be the purification of the spirit from the official role for the dominant interests of the world." — Nikolai Berdyaev

#Russia was never godless, it was merely purifying its faith.
