Christianity is the main religion in both Russia and the United States, so why don't the two unite in the name of Jesus Christ?

What better way to bring about world peace?

Great question!!

Unfortunately, religions are also human institutions, and human failings are too often raised above the virtues of faith, hope and love.
I can't believe that you're actually asking this question
@BridgeOvertroubledWaters why? Do you hate peace? Is Jesus unacceptable as a role model, here? Do you sell tomahawk missiles?
@Roundandroundwego I love peace. I just think that nativity is useless

Because America celebrates the perverted version of Christianity. The powers that be would never let the 2 unite to many principalities at play in the US.
I can’t speak for Russia but I bet it’s the same dynamic.

@Blackie That's true, but the Russian Orthodox Church abandoned much semblance of Jesus Christ when it embraced the narrow nationalism of Putin.

There's plenty of white "Christians" in the US that support Putin.

Maybe it's a white supremacy thing?

Good idea! The Russians incorporate Ukraine and the US gets Greenland.
Hey, that's called world peace, right?
Good question.
American hegemony and Christianity can't possibly mix well. But nobody's going to tell the Americans anything.
Why are there Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and lots of other types of "Christians"?

@BlueSkyKing That involves a long history lesson.
They are all really braches off of the same basic tree.

@RachelLia2003 Tell that to John the Baptist.....in fact, tell that to Jesus.

@RachelLia2003 They are all Christians.

Because when it come to money and power, it ain't the Bible they are reading.
