The Soviet Playbook to Dismantle Christianity

 I wrote my master's thesis on clandestine Christians in the Soviet Union, their survival tactics, and the tactics of Soviet state to try to destroy Christianity.

Within a few years of defending my thesis, I began to see the same tactics that the Soviets used to try to destroy Christianity being enacted here in America, and with similar results.

A Little Soviet History When the communist Bolsheviks violently seized power in Russia in 1917, the Russian Orthodox church found itself to be a major target for attack.

In the first few decades of Soviet rule, the communist authorities found that there was no amount of arrests, interrogations, imprisonments, and executions of Christian clergy, and harassment of everyday Christians, that would cause Christianity to collapse into oblivion.

Communist Tactics to Dismantle Christianity In the aftermath of World War II and the death of the tyrant Stalin, the Soviet state fine-tuned its anti-religious tactics.

In the meantime, Soviet authorities softened their stance against more mainstream Christians, giving some perks to those churches that fell in line and registered with the state.

How This is Relevant to Us in America Today Today in America, we are in the end stages of a communist takeover of Christianity and culture that parallels Soviet history in many ways.
