Russian Protestants undercounted

Submitted by ElamBend (United States), Mar 17, 2006 at 13:19

Russian counts often overlook the growing Protestant movement within Russia. There have long been underground churches and although the government still tries to suppress non-Orthodox Christian churches, they do quite well in Russia. Often the members of these churches have big families, too. This may provide somewhat of a leveler (that is if they all don't move to the U.S.).
