I agree with you that this case has received a bit more attention because the band members are relatively attractive females. Additionally, the fact that media gets throw around the word “pussy” probably doesn’t hurt either. But following this case in the German press, where I live, I think you are way off base that the world press has taken an extra interest in this case because of some bias toward religion. Every article I have read to date barely mentions religion other then to point out that hatred toward religion is the crux of the case against these punk rockers.

The focus here in Germany at least has been how this case illustrates the failure of the rule of law in Putin’s Russia. Furthermore, I think the fact that he is once again exercising absolute power makes this story even more timely and newsworthy. Finally, most of what I read acknowledges that some kind of trespass took place here, and a fine would be in order. But of course, that is not the case the Russian government lodged against them.

I may have, of course missed, the deeply hidden anti-religion agenda in the articles that I read, but I doubt it.
