'''Soviet atheism''' refers to the [[Soviet Union]]'s policy of eliminating [[religion]] in the communist state.
== Reasoning ==
The Soviets believed that practiced religion would be detrimental to their communist society and forced [[atheism]] upon the USSR to create religious uniformity and to prevent variety that they believed harmed their power.
== Effects ==
By forcing atheism upon its people, the Soviet Union further promoted its brutal policies. It provided a way to implement "[[social darwinism]]" on the people of the USSR.<br />
Soviet atheism still stands as a vivid example of how harmful an explicit rejection of religion and God can be to a society.
