Christianity in Russia is by some estimates the largest religion in the country, with nearly 50% of the population identifying as Christian. The largest tradition is the Russian Orthodox Church. By official information, there are 68 eparchies of Russian Orthodox Church. Sounds like a half-Christian country to me, you dummy! en.wikipedia.org

But don't make our country a nuclear victim of NATO's imperial ambitions of pushing its boundary right up to the Russian border. One can reasonably be skeptical about extending alliances further, esp. with countries with dormant or worse yet active conflicts with a nuclear power. But there is nothing imperial about a defensive alliances, and Russia's actions and attitudes to and about its neighbors give them plenty of reason to want alliances for protection against Russia. Whether or not it would be wise there is nothing either imperial or aggressive about letting Russia's neighbors in to NATO. Or we could sell them some of ours. Which countries would you sell them to (assuming they wanted to buy them).
