a security guard claimed Stalin prayed when times were bad in a old Chapel underground. I doubt this will stop the Christians claiming his regimes evil was due to atheism though!

Yeah, i watched that..Religion was still big in Soviet Russia, it just wasn't talked about..
And yes, Stalin was Christian, he was born from a Georgian Fundamentalist backround...although i doubt being Christian meant he was evil, just as him being 'Atheist' would make him a mass murderer

Do we not all 'pray' in whatever form it may be in times of need? Stalin probably was no different!!

Remember that in his youth he trained for, and was fully expected to go into, monkhood. Old habits die hard, if you'll pardon the pun...

Sure he prayed - but to what?
Castro is a follower of the Italian godess Forturna.

Just because he prayed, it doesn't mean his prayers were holy.

Did it say who he was praying to? Hitler prayed too - to the devil. I hope that not a suprise to you.

There are plenty of Christian atheists. I thought you knew that one. Back to the books.
