Editing Ynglism (section)

===Views on Christianity===
Like other esoteric sciences, Ynglism is ambivalent towards [[Christianity]], considering [[Jesus]] as an important [[prophet]] — a "great wanderer", ''veliky putnik'' — while accusing Christian churches to have distorted his original message, which would be preserved in [[apocryphal]] literature.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} The journal ''Dzhiva-Astra'' issued by the Ynglist Church published [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] scriptures which are popular among Russian nationalists.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} More specifically, the Ynglists regard Jesus as an incarnation of the constellation of [[Pisces (constellation)|Pisces]], and [[Paulanism]] — Christianity as formulated by [[Paul of Tarsus]] — to be responsible for the corruption of much of his original teaching.<ref name="Derzhavarus-prayer"/> The Ynglists also argue that early Slavic ''[[volkhv]]''s were aware of the concepts of a supreme God and of the trinity, which were later borrowed by the Christian religion.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} Like other Rodnover groups, the Ynglists ultimately consider Christianity to be an anti-national international machination aimed at the degeneration and the enslavement of people, primarily the Slavs and the Russians in particular.{{sfnm|1a1=Shnirelman|1y=2017a|1p=98|2a1=Shnirelman|2y=2017b|2p=90}} They believe that Christianity was deliberately invented by the [[Jews]] — whom they consider as the leading elite of the wicked "gray race" — as an "excellent ideological weapon" to enslave the whole world.<ref name="Derzhavarus-grays"/>
