The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has 85 million members and is the largest Eastern Orthodox Church. It has close ties to the Russian government and influences the development of secular laws. Under Putin, the ROC works closely with the government and they share the goal of protecting Eastern Orthodox churches globally. The ROC opposes homosexual rights and supported the imprisonment of the punk band Pussy Riot for protesting in a church. Potential weaknesses of the ROC include its leader Kirill's unstable authority and the fact that Russian society is not entirely orthodox.

The Failure of Atheism and the Triumph of Faith in Russia
The Soviet Union aggressively enforced atheism and violently persecuted Christianity. Over 49,000 churches were destroyed and over 66 million people died in massacres, famines, and concentration camps. The Soviet Union sought to annihilate all religious institutions and ideas through militant atheism. Over 100,000 Russian Orthodox clergy were arrested and shot. By 1941, less than 200 Orthodox congregations remained in the Soviet Union. Today, the Orthodox Church has over 30,000 parishes, 8,000 monasteries and 100 theological seminaries, demonstrating the failure of state atheism and triumph of faith in Russia.

Essay ROC
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has become a major political force in Russia since the election of Patriarch Kirill in 2008. Kirill has strengthened the ROC's influence in Russian politics and backed many government policies. However, the relationship has not always been cooperative; when the Bolsheviks took power in 1917 they declared atheism and persecuted the clergy. Since the fall of the USSR, the ROC and Russian government have formed a strong alliance where they support each other, though recent polls show more Russians questioning religion's role in society.

The document discusses electronic system modeling and design beyond Moore's law. It proposes the Contrex modeling methodology which uses UML profiles like MARTE for model-driven design of embedded systems. The methodology supports mixed-criticality modeling, design space exploration, performance analysis, and software synthesis from a single model. It also discusses how system design needs to evolve beyond Moore's law as chip scaling slows, focusing on programming platforms for the Internet of Everything.
Grounding, neutral & earthing
The document discusses different types of grounding or earthing systems for electrical equipment and power systems. It describes:
1) Equipment grounding, which connects the non-current carrying metal parts of electrical equipment to earth to protect against insulation failures.
2) System grounding, which connects parts of the electrical system like the neutral point of a star-connected system to earth.
3) Neutral grounding, a type of system grounding where the neutral point of a 3-phase system is connected to earth either directly or through a resistor or reactor. This provides safety benefits and allows faults to be isolated.

Religious freedom at gunpoint: Russian terror in the occupied territories of ...
The document summarizes the religious situation in eastern Ukraine before and after Russian occupation. Before 2014, the regions saw religious diversity with over 1,700 organizations representing Orthodox, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and other faiths. However, since seizing power in 2014, Russian-backed separatists have targeted "non-traditional" groups like Evangelicals, Greek Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses through kidnapping, torture and seizure of property. Their actions have undermined Ukraine's democratic freedoms and pluralism in religion to instead promote the Russian Orthodox Church and consolidate their illegitimate control.

The Power of Society
Can a person’s religious affiliation (or lack of it) give us any clues about that person’s attitudes on family life?
In a recent survey of U.S adults (a survey that was limited to white people, to control for race), 90 percent of those who described themselves as evangelical Protestants also said they had “old-fashioned” values about family and marriage. The share of self-described Catholics or mainline Protestants who said the same was lower.And less than half of those who claimed to have no religious affiliation shared these traditional values.Clearly, people’s values—whether “old-fashioned” or progressive—are not just a matter of personal choice; they also reflect people’s social background, including their religious affiliation.

Religion is founded on the concept of the sacred—aspects of our existence that are set apart as extraordinary and demand our submission.
Totem–An object in the natural world collectively defined as sacredAccording to Durkheim (1965, orig. 1915), society has a life and power of its own beyond the life of any individual.In other words, society itself is godlike, shaping the lives of its members and living on beyond them.Bowing, kneeling, or prostrating oneself are all ways of symbolically surrendering to a higher powerThese Filipino Christians seek atonement for their sins in an annual Lenten ritual.

Homosexuality and religion
This document summarizes the perspectives on homosexuality held by several major world religions based on interviews and research. The Catholic Church views homosexual acts as sinful but not homosexual orientation. The United Methodist pastor interviewed believes LGBT individuals should be welcomed but official doctrine considers homosexuality incompatible with Christianity. Presbyterianism's doctrine prohibits ordination of non-celibate LGBT clergy. Scientology's founder advocated quarantine or "curing" homosexuality. Buddhism teaches sexuality depends on intentions and relationships, not orientations. Orthodox Judaism prohibits homosexual acts but liberal denominations accept them.

This document summarizes a conference presentation about British media reporting on the British government's Counter-Extremism Strategy (CES). It discusses definitions of extremism in the CES and British values related to religion. It analyzes the narrative around how British values came to be. It also summarizes the topics covered and not covered in British media reporting on the CES, responses to the CES from religious bodies, origins of counter-extremism in policy and definitions of religious extremism in international documents and legislation. It considers whether the CES represents a "new Clarendon Code" or an enlightened approach and questions why the British media has not analyzed the CES in more depth.
Religious Representation in Russia-EU Relations: “Traditional Values” Problem
Religious Representation in Russia-EU Relations: “Traditional Values” ProblemRocznik Integracji Europejskiej
The author analyzes how the concept of “traditional values” is used in the political discourse
of the Russian authorities. Since the third term of Vladimir Putin, there has been a noticeable
neo-conservative turn in Russian politics, expressed both in the strengthening of the influence
of religion and in the tightening of legislation. An active role in this is played by the leadership
of the Russian Orthodox Church, which openly supports the current regime and strengthens
its own influence on public life, regardless of the absence of direct religious demands of Russian society. The concept of “traditional values” is thus politically motivated, interpreted as an
opposition to liberal values (an example is the homophobic policy of the Russian authorities)
and is aimed at contrasting Russian values with Western ones. The author describes how this
discourse is aimed, principally, at consolidating the conservative electorate within the country
and spreading Russian influence on “conservatives” from other countries. This reflects the need
to search for effective ways to counter populist rhetoric.The State, Religion and Belief
The document discusses the relationship between the state and religion in New Zealand. It outlines three common myths about this relationship: 1) The myth of the benign Christian state, 2) The myth of a secular New Zealand, and 3) The myth of human rights and diversity. It then provides context on the modern nation-state and different models of relationships between states and religions globally.
Christianity presentation
