This is reported by Slovo Pro Slovo.

The Russian Security Council has proposed a series of steps to combat foreign religious organizations that negatively affect Russian society.

At the meeting of the section on neutralization of internal threats to the national security of the Scientific Council under the Security Council, it was emphasized that the exercise of freedom of conscience should not violate the foundations of the constitutional order, the rights and legitimate interests of a person and citizen, and negatively affect the country's defense and state security.

The meeting presented the facts of the negative impact on the situation in the country of some foreign and Russian organizations under their control, which carry out their destructive activities under the guise of humanitarian, educational, cultural, national and religious projects.

It is noted that the religious sector practices full endorsement and the use of religious dogmas for negative purposes that give rise to religious extremism.

Members of the Scientific Council of the Security Council considered a series of steps aimed at countering religious radicalism.
