Atheists seek to not only make school sanctioning of religious activity illegal, but to make any profession or personal act of religion illegal in educational institutions.  This has had some limited success in the [[United States]], but is state policy in [[France]], where wearing religious clothing or symbols is an expulsion offense.  By limiting or removing religious expression in schools, atheists hope to reduce its impact in students' lives and, most importantly, limit opportunities to spread the word. The ultimate expression of this, to which all atheists aspire, was the prohibition of all forms of religious expression in [[Communist]]-era [[Albania]] (1945-1991).
