God... Truth or fiction?

Viz, just don't make up a story. I'll tell you honestly—the Freemasons didn't start the revolution. You should look at the statistical data on life in the Russian Empire before saying that Nicholas was a good ruler.
I'll give you just one figure. In 1913, infant mortality in Russia was 239 people per 1000. In India, where infant mortality is considered one of the highest in the world (even now)—213. In France—130.
So, operate with facts.
Why was there a struggle against faith? Because any new religion always begins with the denial and persecution of previous ones (again, I refer you to history). A new religion emerged—communism—which left no room for others (as others had done).
And if we are talking about which religion is better—the one that led the country to collapse or the one that raised it from the bottom to second (and in some ways first) place in the world, then I am unequivocally for the latter.
