[quote=Anonymous]Only Marxist governments have ever sought to promote atheism.

State atheism includes active opposition to religion, and persecution of religious institutions, leaders and believers.

The Soviet Union attempted to suppress religion over wide areas of its influence, including central Asia.The Socialist People's Republic of Albania under Enver Hoxha went so far as to officially ban the practice of every religion.

By 1970 all 22 nations of central and eastern Europe which were behind the Iron Curtain were Atheistic, promoting it, ideologically linked to it and opposed on principal to all religion.

The People's Republic of China was established in 1949 and since then the government has been officially atheist.

The Communist Party has said that religious belief and membership are incompatible. Party membership is a necessity for many high level careers and posts.

The majority of Chinese have lost faith in Communism because the Marxist philosophy is chained to “the iron ball of state atheism, [which] has left it in a moral wasteland”.
