That is so true TippyHome.  Some years ago I read a rather lenghthy article on how President Putin had returned old churches and church property back to the Russian Orthodox Church which had been taken by the Communists after WWII and used for military storage.  In addition there have been over 3,200 brand new churches built in Russia and with the help of President Putin there have been over 700 beautiful old churches completely restored.  President Putin is a very devout Christian and has been instrumental in helping the Russian Church return to its rightful place in Russian culture.   Sadly in America where Christianity is also the foundation of our culture, thousands of churches have been closed.  Its the falling away prophesied in Scripture.
