[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less than 1% of Congress identifies as atheist, and 88% of Congress identifies as Christian.

The most authoritarian countries, that severely limit freedom on every level, are countries with state mandated atheism.

“Before the end of the Cold War, many Communist States did not shy away from being openly hostile to religion. In most instances, communist ideology translated unperturbedly into state atheism, which, in turn, triggered measures aimed at the eradication of religion. As much was acknowledged by some Communist Constitutions. The 1976 Constitution of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, for instance, was firmly based on a Marxist dismissal of religion as the opiate of the masses. It provided: "The state recognizes no religion of any kind and supports and develops the atheist view so as to ingrain in to the people the scientific and materialistic world-view."
