Religion Under Communism and Postcommunism

The religious situation in Communism is, according to the author, determined by covert militant atheism, inspired by Leninism and dating as far back as the Enlightenment. It was, according to him, by all signs, much lower than Marx’s level of understanding of the new atheism, i.e. historical humanism. Within the framework of the communist ideological and political system there were three myths: the gradual disappearance of religion, gradual disappearance of the state, and gradual disappearance of the nation. This is why everyone expected that a multi-party system would give an impulse to a process of intensive de-ideologization and demythologization. However, in the post-communist world these processes did receive a new impetus, but in the opposite direction.
