We should view these religions with a class lense tho: Christianity was an ideological tool to entrench feudalism / patriarchal rule, womens oppression, repress any sexuality that didn't conform to feudalism, etc.
Nearly all hunter-gatherer / pre-feudal societies have more progressive family and social relations, and the feudal lords needed to entrench systems of thought to get rid of that.
for sure, the class analysis of this would be the monarch class instilling it in russia through slavery; they would have used there factories, religious structures and whip to make sure this happened; it was a top down IDpol class oppression.
