State atheism

State atheism is the promotion of atheism by a government. State atheism was practiced in the USSR and other communist governments, and was promoted by Karl Marx.

State atheism can be a very good thing. Religion has caused vast amounts of oppression in the world, and forces individuals to do useless, toilsome things, such as praying, going to church, etc. State atheism breaks down the foundation of conservatism, because much of conservatism is based solely on religion. Religion divides people and leads to oppression, such as with homosexuals. Religion has suppressed science for hundreds of years, with scientists being burned at the stake. Atheism opens the door for reason and liberalism. With religion out of the way, the working people will more readily unite to take down their oppressors.

State atheism should not be done by killing or jailing religious people. This will only lead to people being religious in secrecy. State atheism must be done using the education system.
