Prof. Kalin Yanakiev: Through philosophical ethical debates - this is how religions should be studied

The referendum that Radev proposed is a desperate and stupid gift for May 9 to Nazi Russia, the philosopher and theologian also commented

I am extremely attentive to what is being prepared. The supports of Russian Orthodoxy should not be allowed in the "Religion" textbooks. For example, there is a lesson on globalism and it is said that the Church, you see, rejected globalism, is this a "Religion" textbook? This question was asked in an interview for "Face to Face" by Prof. Kalin Yanakiev - philosopher, theologian and cultural scientist, quoted by novini.bg.

He warned that there is a possibility that religion will start to repel instead of attract.
"Religion can be studied, but why did the debate have to be held mainly with political figures? Why did the entire discussion have to be led by Haralan Alexandrov, who I am sure cannot say "The Symbol of Faith". Why were there no teachers? I am not against studying "Religion" but the Church must step aside and stop presenting the subject as its own categorization initiative. Through philosophical ethical debates - this is how religions should be studied, and not as DiaMat / dialectical materialism - ed. / and IsMat / historical materialism - ed. / : when do you fast, etc. ", the theologian also pointed out, adding that one of the main fears of people is that in Russia Orthodoxy has become the ideology of Putin's fascism.
"The referendum that Radev proposed is a desperate and stupid gift for May 9 to Nazi Russia. Bulgaria is doing almost the same thing that it did on the eve and during World War II - we were not a Nazi state, and we constantly bowed to Nazi Germany. We have a pro-Western government, but also a pro-Nazi party, which is third in parliament, we have a pro-Russian president and an absolute obscurity of what today's Russia is. Torture is constantly being carried out there. "A 27-year-old journalist with her brain and eyes gouged out - when did Bulgarians hear about this, about the torture that is happening there," he further asked.
