What was the new role of religion after World War II?

1. If we talk about rheology, then its role as a science that studies the fluidity and deformation of matter has not changed.
2. If we talk about religion on the territory of the USSR in the period after 1945, the church became an instrument in the hands of the KGB. Almost all clergymen were informants or even had the rank of officers in this service. Their functions included collecting and transmitting information about parishioners, spreading the necessary rumors, and various covert assistance to the special services. In response, the authorities “turned a blind eye” to the collection of money and other material values ​​from parishioners. Money was laundered through the church.
