Vladimir Putin doesn't strike me as a particularly pious fellow — more a poison-my-political-foes-invade-neighboring-countries-threaten-nuclear-war kinda guy. Yet, he's very chummy with the Russian Orthodox Church, promoting himself as a defender of the faith. And they, in turn, not wanting to be poisoned or nuked, and always drawn to power, have bear-hugged him back.
You know who else hearts Putin? Right-wing evangelicals in the U.S. They see him as a warrior for Christendom. Many say they'd rather he was our president than any stinky, squishy, godless Democrat...
