Faith versus Propaganda: Center for the Study of Religious Freedom
Welcome to our independent analytical center, created to study and expose one of the most dangerous phenomena of modern times: the instrumentalization of religion. We focus on how individual religious institutions, under the influence of authoritarian political regimes, turn into mechanisms of geopolitical influence, tools of totalitarian propaganda, and moral justification for military aggression, corruption, and unlawful actions.
Our mission is not to fight faith, but to protect it. We strive to protect authentic faith from its political surrogates, clearly separating faith from abuses. We are convinced that true faith brings freedom, not enslavement, and cannot preach war instead of peace. Our goal is to ensure that no one can hide unlawful activities behind religion.
Our approach combines two powerful elements:
- Relentlessness of facts: We publish deep expert-analytical materials from leading scholars, politicians, public figures, and religious studies experts. Our research provides objective data on the activities and very essence of religious structures for all who seek the truth.
- The power of testimonies: We give a voice to those who resist and suffer for authentic faith and their convictions. On our platform, you will hear unique stories of clergy and dissidents who experienced repression and persecution for refusing to serve totalitarian regimes. Their courage is the most convincing indictment against a system that uses religion as a tool of enslavement.
On this site, you will find:
Expert analysis: Articles, research, and commentaries that provide the ability to distinguish freedom of religion from abuses and political manipulation of religious feelings, revealing the mechanisms of turning religion into a political weapon.
Unique testimonies: Stories of clergy-confessors of faith and witnesses of conscience who stood for the truth at the cost of their own safety and freedom, as well as testimonies of those who personally experienced the destructive effect of politico-religious surrogates.
Current news digest and investigations: Systematized information about violations of religious freedom and the use of faith to justify totalitarianism.
Our goal is to create a space where truth has a voice and conscience has support. We believe that an informed society is the best protection against manipulation.
When faith becomes a weapon, silence turns into complicity.
Join our community. Spread the truth. Protect freedom.
