      Which is an enormous error since religions are all ideologies that shield themselves in magic claimings perpetuating reactionary structures and having free passes everywhere.

      In Xinjiang itself, atheist people has been and probably still is, very persecuted from their theist Muslim neighbors to a point that it was almost unbearable pre- deradicalication policies, where people could get beaten up for eating pork.

      Religions are a principal contradiction that is completely reaccionary due to its nature about how its constructed their cosmology and to whom (fictional) characters they give authority too.

      Religions should be treated as any other political ideology no matter how many fairies, deities, hells and more fantasies are summoned to have their special pleadings listened and fucking stop being given this exceptionalism they are constantly enjoying their main conmen called sacerdots, who are a superior class against their víctims, the believers, who are leeched out for nonsensical threats and pseudoscience. Lenin was right about religion, and not listening to him will cost us even more than we imagine.

      Religion must be actively eradicated with the same medicine they use to spread in the same equivalent force.

      And if you find this claim of mine “desproportionally inhuman” then it says more about religious people than anything else.

      And no, I don’t want them to necessarily receive what their ancestors did to pagans and unbelievers, but to have an strong anti propagandist campaign until current religions are held like the ancient myths they are, with the same value as the myths of Zeus or Marduk, and knowing everyone that religions were and are manufactured to gain material power. There is not a single hierophant that doesn’t know they is a conman/con-woman(?) snake oil seller.

      I do think it was a mistake in the USSR to have state atheism though. Correct me I am wrong, but to hold elected office in the USSR one had to be officially an atheist.

      I agree with you though, it is common sense for the state to permit the practice of faiths or the lack thereof. But for the state to mandate atheism for officials is no different than the state mandating officials fold a particular faith.

        I think it’s the same in the PRC, but maybe not as tight? Chinese State officials can still engage in some religious rituals privately as cultural practices (Ramadan for example). Not entirely sure on the details though because I was never religious (or a State official) while I was in China, so all of this is second hand.

        There is an “official” Catholic Church in China though, recognized by the Vatican and IIRC run by the government? Or maybe just overseen by them?

          At least China has the thing of not letting religions get in state issues and maybe the opposite. But still not tight enough.

        You mean a Christian will have the guts to not represent “muh Christian values” in its power resenting anything that we as non believers had been fighting for even before communism wasn’t though?

        State atheism is the only way your Bible doesn’t get in the way in the rights of non-cis, non-het, women, children to not get indoctrinated in schools and more stuff.

        Scratch a religious “leftist” and a theocracist bleeds, uh?

        Also, Christians have to wait in Christ for the End of the World to come and not be mixed in the “affairs of the World since you are not part of the World” as Jesus said. Have some consistency at least.
