Putin is no more piously religious than our Southern "Christian" politicians who adopt a very un-Christian attitude toward their fellow humans.
I was never a fan of religion, though I do not oppose any one's right to their own, provided they force it on no one else. As a Southerner, you tend to either embrace organized religion or disdain it. I am in the latter category, and am more with Lenin ("opiate of the masses"
on that issue.
I agree that knowledge of different cultures is useful, but imposition of them is the height of arrogance. I was once asked to contribute to a funding of American Christians to go to India to try to convert Indians to Christianity. I said I would contribute an amount equal to the amount they were willing to contribute for Indians to come to America to convert Christians to Hinduism. Needless to say, I was not pressed further for any contributions to their cause.
