I have to wonder why they're so dead-set on destroying the park. Is it because they figure if the people have nowhere to go to have fun and relax, they'll spend more time in church?

Vakhtang Kipshidze, a spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church, has accused protesters of being "anti-religious".

Of course he did.

He added that protests "could only have been organised by people driven by anti-religious motives".

Yes, the only reason people might want to keep their park is because they're anti-religious.
