Csezc. Perusing your forums, and other website that advocate Slavic nationalism, I wonder what your preferred religion is. Personally I would assume, and condone, a return to the spirituality indigenous to Slavs (Slavic paganism, what have you), but I also understand the role Christianity has played in the history of the Slavs. I also understand most people in my homeland, Poland (though I was born in the United States) are Catholic. Any input would be appreciated.

I find it offensive that you see religion as something that you can select and choose. In fact, it suggests that you are an atheist? perhaps an agnostic? For if you had any spiritual convictions you wouldn't degrade what many see as absolute truths to the menu at McDonalds.
As far as I’m concerned, your compatriots are correct. Christ is our savior, and the Bishop of Rome is the successor of Peter.

I am sure they would put you into the camp of "them" for that alone. Time to wake up dude!

I can freely practice my Catholic faith here, while you can freely practice your Orthodox faith. And Western democracies have no problem with that, hence the right to freedom of religion.

What I mean, Andrew, is that your post would not be viewed as tolerant enough about other religions.
So, you think the average champion of Democracy would find your claim that religion is not a matter of free choice and selection as a reasonable and acceptable point of view?

Sure, there are many groups that would have a similar opinion. I'm sure the Christian right is of the same opinion.

Having a 'prefered' religion, prefered Tzar', prefered language, prefered state is exactly what carved us into aritifical states.
I have come to accept that Pravoslavie is natural continuation of Rodoverie (Slavic paganism), I see no point in reverting to something one step back.
Welcome!

For all Slavs Christianity is also a very larger part of the national culture. I think that says it all.

Andrew, they are respectful and accepting of other people's religious choice. Thus, there are non-Christians in the west. To say religion is not a matter of one's own choice, is not respecting and accepting religious freedom. What part you don't understand?

There is no conflict here. Freedom of religion is essential to Christianity. We must come to our faith based on our own experiences and beliefs (hence the Catholic Church's sacrament of Confirmation). If others find some other false truth that they call religion, so be it, no one can be forced to believe no one can control another's mind. In no way do my initial remarks contradict this. Religion is not a matter of comfort/choice it is a matter of truth, anyone who thinks it is a matter of choice/comfort is an imbecile.
