My honest feeling when I noticed The thumbnail saying "God's Precious Communist Empire" I just wanna say that the Thumbnail is actually very disappointing and messed up. Religion in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was dominated by the fact that it became the first state to have as one objective of its official ideology the elimination of existing religion, and the prevention of future implanting of religious belief, with the goal of establishing state atheism (gosateizm) However, the main religions of pre-revolutionary Russia persisted throughout the entire Soviet period. Christians belonged to various denominations: Orthodox (which had the largest number of followers), Catholic, Baptist and various other Protestant denominations. The majority of the Muslims in the Soviet Union were Sunni, with the notable exception of Azerbaijan, which was majority Shia. Judaism also had many followers. Other religions, practiced by a small number of believers, included Buddhism and Shamanism.[citation needed] The vast majority of people in the Russian Empire were, at the time of the revolution, religious believers. After the October Revolution saw the Bolsheviks overthrow the Russian Provisional Government and establish the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), the communists aimed to break the power of all religious institutions and eventually replace religious belief with atheism. As part of the campaign, churches and other places of worship were systematically destroyed,[8][9][10] and there was a "government-sponsored program of conversion to atheism" conducted by communists. "Science" was counterposed to "religious superstition" in the media and in academic writing. The communist government targeted religions based on state interests, and while most organized religions were never outlawed, religious property was confiscated, believers were harassed, and religion was ridiculed while atheism was propagated in schools. In 1925 the government founded the League of Militant Atheists to intensify the persecution. During the first five-ish years of Soviet power, the Bolsheviks executed 28 Russian Orthodox bishops and over 1,200 Russian Orthodox priests. Just a fact. The only religions they worshipped back in Soviet Russian days were Religion were Marxism/Leninism They are the opium of the people: this saying of Marx is the cornerstone of the entire ideology of Marxism about religion. All modern religions and churches, all and of every kind of religious organizations are always considered by Marxism as the organs of bourgeois reaction, used for the protection of the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class. Just to eliminate the Concept of God and to eliminate it in the Soviet Union. Not to mention the Communists in the Soviet Union have destroyed More than a hundred Churches in the Latvian SSR, Ukrainian SSR, Estonian SSR, Belarus SSR, Georgian SSR, etc. It was planned by Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Trotsky that Orthodoxy/Christianity will be permanently be Destroyed and Prohibited in the Soviet Union. Which every Communist leader in the Early 20th century to 1950's were Completely Against Orthodox Christianity/European Christianity (for short) Thankfully the best Christmas Present in 1991 was finally revealed when Mikhail Gorbachev resigned his post as the Last President of the Soviet Union, then Collapsed it Whole Due to The Government, People not wanting to be Under Control by Russians and Eastern Europe finally marked Freedom, Especially with the Orthodox Churches.
