MOSCOW MOSCOW May 05. 2024 (Saba) - A Russian official on Sunday expressed his belief that the United States is using the factor of religion as a tool to undermine the legitimacy of its opponents and regimes that reject its policies.
According to Russia Today, the ambassador of the special missions of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Gennady Askaldovich, said in an article published by the newspaper Izvestia that some countries skillfully use the religious factor as one of the foreign policy tools to influence their opponents, foremost of which is the United States.
"To create a legal basis, Congress adopted in 1998, the so-called (World Freedom of Religion) Act," Askadovich said.
According to the law, the United States shamelessly discredited foreign governments for allegedly violating the rights of followers of a belief or ideology, without regard to the laws, moral norms and national interests of sovereign states.
"Russia has traditionally been on the list of countries that cause 'special concern' to Washington, while at the same time, he pointed out that Russia, as an ideological adversary of Western countries, stands up to liberal ideas that touch on religious issues," he said.
