Obviously, some guys in Tenessee may imagine, "What do you mean Ireland is more Christian? They have gay marriage!" (but Ukraine hasn't, thank God!).

An Irish Catholic might reply that "you had it first" (Massachusetts 2001, Ireland 2015 a few months after the US nationwide), and "have a look at California or New Jersey".

But in statistics it's fairly easy. Christians are 80 % and some in Ireland and in Ukraine. They are 60 % and some in US and in Russia. And at least before the war, Ukraine had fewer of their pregnancies aborted than Russia, proportionally./HGL

PS, a correction at 15:58 at the video.

The Orthodox priest claims there is no teaching of Holy War, Orthodox, Catholics or Protestants. Not quite true, Popes have preached indulgence (but not automatic absolution, I think) for Crusaders. However, those were fighting Mujahedin who were oppressing Christians. Or Christian holy places or things./HGL
