Why tease geese?

In the photo from the LiveJournal Professor of the Moscow Theological Academy Andrei Kuraev (http://diak-kuraev.livejournal.com/107767.html). This picture with a bike show in Sevastopol himself commented as follows: “There are many impressions. But the strongest of them is the Minister of Education and Science A. A. Fursenko in a T -shirt with an Orthodox cross and with the inscription "God with us". "

With tolerance (tolerance) in Russia is not the most prosperous situation. And interethnic conflicts have a place to be, both interfessional, and the attitude of the vast majority of the poor to the minority of super -rich is not the most friendly ... and the word “tolerance” itself, so benevolent, so reconciliation, so neutral, suddenly becomes explosive. What - did not encourage to fight? Few killed in the North Caucasus, in Moscow, and in other regions of our vast Motherland? Not only does Russia take one of the first places in terms of mortality (for 1 thousand people) along with the countries of East and Central Africa, and in terms of murder - third place in the world after Colombia and South Africa?

By the way, religion was inherent in the best representatives of the church.

Why, one wonders, the Minister of Education and Science (!) Mr. A.A. Fursenko geese to tease (as geese we, atheists, and representatives of other faiths), showing publicly our person, dressed in a shirt with an Orthodox cross and the slogan “God is with us!”? It is no coincidence that many bloggers on the Web remembered in this regard “Got Mit UNS!” (The same “God is with us!”, But in German) on the buckles of every soldier of the Nazi Wehrmacht.

Does Mr. not know that, according to Art. 14 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, “the Russian Federation is a secular state. No religion can be established as state or mandatory, "and" religious associations are separated from the state and are equal before the law "?

However, the constitution does not give a damn about not only the minister and others like him, but also. court. The conviction (and the process itself, judging by the information from the media) against Yu. Samodurov and A. Erofeev for the art exhibition, in my opinion, is a triumph of obscurantism. Until now, such convictions have been passed only by representatives of Islamic extremism (the infamous sentence for the death penalty of Salman Rushdi for the book “Satanic Poems”, issued by Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini). Now we went the same way. The punishment is not fundamental here, the prosecution of the prosecutor's office is important (by the way, the state prosecutor demanded imprisonment!) And the court against the creators of works of art or persons representing them.

In the same row is an enhanced attempt to introduce religious performances to schoolchildren of primary school . Again, it doesn’t matter what religion and denomination - Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism or Judaism. It is important De Jure - a violation of the constitutional principle, Art. 14 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and De Facto - an attempt in the 21st century to contrast to secular science, secular education and secular education of the decrepit religious dogmas.

And what social reserve will the inhabitants of the Scolkovo science be received? True Orthodox, believers in the divine creation and do not dare to develop scientific theories that are not agreed with the church? No wonder theologians are trying to break through the Higher Attestation to science!

If this succeeds, Russia will be thrown back far. This is not understood by our immigrants from the KGB-FSB, always distinguished by an irreconcilable “struggle” with a religious dope? Or, being in power, did they realize the great “benefit” to rule a stupefied people?
