That's how millions die in gulags and concentration camps. Then when the govt shuts down the churches, they say, "Why is this happening to good people?!"
How long did it take for the Russian Church to recover from what happened to it in the 1800s? 81 years if I'm not mistaken. And then only because Stalin needed the Christians to win the war with Germany, after his 20yrs of brutal oppression. They thought they'd returned to prominence with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, but soon found that that was just a ploy by the Bolsheviks to gain favor and power.
Once Stalin took over he killed 100,000 priests for the socialist and communist cause.
When you can HELP a neighbor, you DO IT. You don't stay home and shut the curtains when people are robbing them. You man up and help repel them.
