State Atheism (1 ene 1917 año – 12 h 15 m, 13 jun 2025 año)

Descripción:

State atheism is the incorporation of positive atheism or non-theism into political regimes. The majority of Marxist–Leninist states followed similar policies from 1917 onwards. The Soviet Union (1922–1991) had a long history of state atheism, whereby those seeking social success generally had to profess atheism and to stay away from houses of worship. This trend became especially militant during the middle of the Stalinist era which lasted from 1929 to 1939. In Central Europe, countries like Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Bulgaria experienced strong policies, as did East Germany and the Czech republic. The Soviet Union attempted to suppress public religious expression over wide areas of its influence, including places such as Central Asia. Either currently or in their past, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Cuba, are or were officially atheist. In contrast, a secular state purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion.
