Okay but give me one theocratic Christian country that openly kills people for being gay. We're not going to abolish bigotry in the world without admitting that the Middle East and Islam is especially fucked up when it comes to LGBT rights

They use religion to sway the public. Putin may rule with an iron fist, but he absolutely does so with the help of religious rhetoric.

That's not what a theocracy is. Plenty of politicians around the world use religion to gain support from the public. Some of the only surviving theocracies exist only in the Middle East.

Religion is a useful tool for Putin, but he isn't subservient to any religious leader.
