I dont know how i feel about this. This doesnt seem very “freedom of religion”

Well if religion is turning to propaganda and or incitement then it's no longer religious, it's political and possibly criminal depending on the country the church resides.

Since when is propaganda a crime?

Since Russia attacked Ukraine and the clergy decided to be political not religious and spout the attacker's views and or given aide to such attackers.

Propaganda to incite violence or take over can be considered a crime, it goes beyond basic free speech.

Freedom of Religion is used as a veil for “Diplomatic Immunity”. The Russian Orthodox Church is well known to just be an extension of the FSB in foreign countries.
