DISINFO: Bible will be banned soon in Europe
SUMMARY
Gender ideology wins in Europe, Bible will be banned soon. Old Europe, to which Russia tried to orient in the 90s, no longer exists. More and more often, there are reports from Europe about restrictions imposed by secular authorities on believers. For a pectoral cross under a shirt, they can be fired, and Europeans are forced to agree that a person can choose his gender. Then you can easily send the Bible under the ban, where on the very first pages it is said that “God created man in his own image and likeness, male and female created them". The world is faced with a "terrible phenomenon" when a system of discrimination against people with traditional, including religious, beliefs is being created.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the West’s moral decadence, materialism and hostility to traditional religion, which Western governments allegedly seek to undermine and to replace with pseudo-religions (such as LGBT ideology).
These narratives aim at denigrate the West in general; not something to relate or aspire to, by portraying the West as depraved, an immoral actor that fights against traditional values.
Despite the dropping levels of religious practice in Europe, the majority of western Europeans still identify themselves as Christians, a 2018 survey by the Pew Research Center shows. According to the same survey, 31% of western Europeans who identify themselves as Christians attend religious services at least monthly. At the same time, one of the 2018 polls in Russia concluded that 17% of Russians who identify themselves as Orthodox Christians attend church at least monthly.
Read similar cases claiming that Western societies are decadent, worship money and are devoted to the obsessive search for pleasure, that Western Europe is moving away from its Christian roots and is dominated by materialism and the pursuit of money and that the West seeks to degrade and discredit traditional values.
