The old Soviet Union didn't come to an end by the roar of western tanks or the Blast of hydrogen bombs but by internal strife, the desire of one group to triumphal over others in supposedly the same nation The fuel for the break up was greed. and Religious fervor.
In the beginning of that lost Nation, the way to accommodate all of the Religions in that huge area was disallow any. This was to try and avoid the Wars fought in the various names of God. All the same God of course, but for each groups idea of God. So no God allowed, No war. However This was a very bad idea You (the State) doesn't have the power to tell people what to believe; now if they had tried to Do this the way the US had done by Allowing All but endorsing none that would have helped them stay in Business a little longer
The Soviet Union set on vast wealth all in the hands of the state and officials of that State controlled Portions of that wealth Some of those officials pushed to over throw the State and doing so some proclaimed them selves owner of that wealth. Some now very Rich.
Sadly now in our Nation the ugly head of Greed takes us over. Our nation was strong, where a Family of modest income could provided the material goods that our Society demands. However this cut into the profits of The upper one percent so US businesses closed and with the support of our Government moved operations off shore. That is Greed for Power, Greed for wealth (How much wealth is enough) are we doomed to be a failed state Broken up by the greed of a few who say that it is unfair to pay their Share to live in this Great Country.
As for the Freedom of Religion; Some of us think that some Religions should be more free than others.
