It is now the dominant religion of Russia with forty-one percent of the population stated as being Orthodox Christian. Although there are some minorities of Protestants and Catholics in Russia, there was no big divide or religious wars and prosecutions as there were in other Western European countries, such as England and France. Orthodox Christianity is often used still now by the government and it is a uniting factor in Russia.
