His religion was Russian Orthodox Christianity. He had friends who were Catholic and Lutheran and attended a few services in the Lutheran church. He said he hated Jews more than Muslims but had 13 officers in his army hung when they were planning a pogram and hired Jews who would convert to Orthodoxy. He sent an atheist to Siberia because he said religion is the basis of an oath and without an oath there is no society. He had a girl friend and a wife who were Lutheran though the last converted on having their child. He certainly did not hate other religions and when told to burn all churches of the foreigners and throw them out of Russia on the deathbed of Joachim the head of the Orthodox Church, he went out and bought a "German" suit. He was supported as the Tzar by the Orthodox Church and had no reason not to practice the religion although he did make it subordinate to the government after the death of Adrian, the successor of Joachim.
