    Address to the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida that would come to represent Reagan's view of the Soviet Union. Reagan defends America's Judeo-Christian traditions against the Soviet Union's totalitarian leadership and lack of religious faith, expressing his belief that these differences are at the heart of the fight between the two nations.
    March 8th, 1983

    As a person currently migrating from a country (Bulgaria), that was touched by the soviets, to a western country, I agree completely with the last great US president in the modern era. Soviet Russia was and still is an evil empire. It's poison still flows through many countries. Ronald Reagan worked hard for the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He succeeded and that is why he is hated so much in Russia and in countries like mine. I noticed many rude comments about him in the comment section. Those are the same people that will continue to spread russian propaganda all the time. Those are the same communists from that era or their children. I have seen the west now and I can concur that life is great here. People have houses, not some 3 by 3 cell that they call home (one small example). So stop wasting your breath spreading your propaganda. You can't fool everyone.

      Communism separated church from state. We do the same thing. Communism didn’t mean no religion in the nation it meant no religion in government. People use the religion narrative to set people against communism because it is simple and easy to understand. These people are bad because they are godless heathens. Meanwhile the Russian Orthodox Church plays a large part in their society despite communism. Most Russians are Christians just like you despite what Reagan says. Reagan uses this just like the Muslims in Afghanistan did because it is an easy argument. Just like America the Soviet Union made up a large group of people from different cultures many with different religions not atheism. God was not a part of their politics though. That is not why communism is bad. Does our system not ask for separation of church and state yet people like Reagan pretend America is 100% a Christian society and them100% atheist. In fact one of the few good things about communism is that they actually practiced separation of church and state. This is not a religious issue but he makes it that to pander to his idiot hardcore religious base. Meanwhile the majority of Russia is the same religion as them. Communism is bad primarily because it is a command economy. In a command economy supply chain decisions have a lack of information from the end of that chain. They have no idea what to produce and how much compared with capitalist economies rich with information. Religion is a cheap scape goat for explaining to people who lose attention when you start talking about manufacturing and retail. The Soviet Union was not an atheist society it was an atheist government. Someone isn’t bad because they are atheist. A system is bad not because it lacks god but because it lacks proper economic and political foundations. Our system can adapt based on public opinion while the Soviet system couldn’t. Communism encouraged theft crime and cheating to generate wealth while capitalism encouraged competition. God and religion do not play a part here and it is sad to see that is why people dislike communism instead of what actually makes it bad. Soviet grocery stores were empty because of the command economy not because of religion.

      Billions worth of support and investment into the talibans who "fought for their freedom and God against those evil godless atheist soviets" eventually turned out to push towards the collapse of the soviets yeah, but later that transformed into the 9/11 and the total fundamentalist mess which tears the middle east still today.

    I still don't understand why Reagan and many other Americans thought God/religion and the Soviet Union were mutually exclusive. My mother, who grew up in the USSR and her family freely went to church and were able to practice Orthodox Christianity. She saw Tajik, Kyrgyz, Uzbek women at the bazaar covered with the Muslim style headcovering. There was even a time where our communist leader Leonid Brezhnev told Nixon "God will not forgive us". What kind of supposed atheist would openly say that to a western leader?

All other presidents since Kennedy were content with détente, but President Reagan stated his intentions early on: "We win. They lose." After fixing the out of control interest, inflation, and unemployment, Reagan helped defeat communism with the downfall of USSR.
    He brought pride back into a nation after Vietnam, rescued the Iranian hostages, built up defense, and defeated the evil empire. That is why he is still the most popular president since WWII. The socialist Obama is, incidentally, the most unpopular one.
