=== Stalingrad ===
The [[Battle of Stalingrad]], one of the harshest battles in history, amongst many other battles in the Eastern Front of WWII, was successfully defended by the [[Soviet Union]]'s army against [[Nazi Germany]] aggression. The Soviet Union had [[state atheism]]. Although Soviet state atheism was largely unsuccessful in making converts as a whole, there were likely atheists who participated in the Battle of Stalingrad as state atheism had more success in urban regions than rural regions.<ref>[http://www.thedivineconspiracy.org/Z3211C.pdf Forced Secularization in Soviet Russia:

The Soviet Union atheistic communists and Nazis both advocated [[evolution]] and neither were Bible believers (see: [[Social effects of the theory of evolution]]).<ref>[http://creation.com/hitler-bible Did Hitler rewrite the Bible?]</ref>

The quality of the Soviet Union's army was poor in [[WWII]] and they were unable to conquer [[Finland]] even when they had a much larger numerical superiority of troops.<ref>[http://www.simohayha.com/ The Incredible Story of Finnish Sniper Simo Hayha]</ref><ref>[http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=586 A Brief History of Finland in WWII]</ref>
