Not all atheists evangelize the dangers of religion and not all
  religious people are irrational and downright scary.

  The bishops did their job. Blessed stuff. The highly trained air
  force had a mission to go on later on. What was that mission?
  Happened to be Syria. It could've been something else.

  WHY did Russia bomb Syria?

  Well, then you're going into politics more than religion. The
  article is lying. It is hyperbole. It preys on ignorance of the
  public to the difficult political realities faced by large
  countries.. It is manipulative of our imaginations and in short:

  This article is FALSE.   I should correct the above. It's not
  preying on ignorance. The article preys primarily on
  confirmation bias: it's telling us exactly what we WANT to hear,
  so we believe it.   The power and influence of organized news
  media is far more detrimental.

  We've witnessed it happening right here, between you and I, just
  now.

  That's power.
