The U.S. Department of State's new International Religious Freedom Report contains a lot of flaws and is over-politicized, says Russian Foreign Ministry Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law Commissioner Konstantin Dolgov.

"The U.S. Department of State's new International Religious Freedom Report is full of flaws," Dolgov said on Twitter on Friday.

"The judgments about the situation in Russia, particularly in Crimea, have been politicized, biased and farfetched, in accordance with a sad tradition. The state of affairs in Ukraine is depicted with distortions and glaring gaps," he said.

At the same time, the report's section dealing with Syria "lacks analysis of the root causes of the rampant terrorism and systemic bloody attacks on whole religious groups, particularly Christians," he said.

The U.S. Department of State published its new International Religious Freedom Report on October 14.

Free will is such an important quality that, when it is lost, the personality becomes completely degraded. But as long as self-awareness is preserved, no one can take authority over this freedom—not another man, nor society, nor laws, nor any regime, nor demons, nor angels, nor even God Himself. Saint Macarius of Egypt (fourth century) said: "You are created in the image and likeness of God; therefore just as God is free and creates what He wants … so are you free. Therefore, our nature is well capable of accepting both good and evil; both God’s grace, and the enemy’s powers. But it cannot be forced."

The US is now officially the biggest antichristian state in the world. This fact is attempted to be hidden behind all kind of cognitive dissonance such as championing human rights abroad (but it doesn't apply for inside the state), crying crocodile tears for any kind of antichristian movement as freedom of expression and so far and so long. But when comes to the real Christianity from any denomination the state hates Christians deeply. This is not a new for them. See how they look at all Mid. East Christians?! They ignore them. They are goofy with the racists from the Kiev's coup but look negative to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine and also in Crimea. The false pretends are so obvious that no funny why many other states don't trust the officials in the US. They are only big months.
