In terms of actually practicing ideologies in real time, some people argue that Russia is now the most Christian nation in the world. Would you agree or disagree with that theory?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Alas, I think I'd have to agree. It's becoming one of the most religiously brainwashed countries. But then again, communism, was just another religionism, and it had to be replaced by something... Some new opium for the masses.

Russia is much less religious than other people think. There is a strong 10-20% atheist + nonreligious population. The most religious nation will be in Latin America. May be Brazil or Paraguay.

RF is a multi-confessional country. There are ~70% of christians, but some regions population nearly 100% muslim... There are also regions with ~100% buddhist. But then again, communism, was just another religionism, and it had to be replaced by something... Some new opium for the masses.
That's not quite correct... There are many differences between religin and ideological platform.  |

I think African countries but even with their religious values, they are still the most corrupted countries in the world.

A modern roman catholic church has very little in common with catholic traditions, it's a Vatican II sect. So it seems that Orthodox christians, old catholics (pre-vatican II) and some protestants are the last genuine christians in the world.  |

Yes... Christianity (and also Islam) in Africa is normally spread with the help of money and coercion. No wonder they are corrupt. |

True, but they share the same fundamental qualities: neither are rational and both are fueled by emotions Your statement is irrational and fueled by emotions Ideology it's just a set of tools, which was designed to resolve some kind of problem or achieve specified goal. A real problem or goal, which could be seen or described. It also required to provide a consistent methodology. I.e. ideology is required to provide a vectors, something like these: Goal: how society should work; Methods: what, how and why should we do to achieve this goal. Religion is self-sufficient and able to give you an answer for any question. Unlike religion, ideology isn't self-sufficient, it doesn't provide any indisputable answers. Ideology is always based on something which could be proven or refuted. |

I am going to say Armenia on this one. First country to adopt Christianity as a whole, and about 97%+ of their population is all Christian.
