Talk:Essay: Atheofascism
I think this article needs to be fact checked in terms of who it claims to be atheists.
I changed the Hitler material to indicate he is theorized to be an atheist. There is not an airtight case that Hitler was an atheist.

I removed the section on atheofascism prevention because it was too simplistic. For example, there are many causes of why a society may turn to fascism. For example, some religions are more authoritarian than others so a society that turns to irreligion may start off more authoritarian. In addition, there are many causes of atheism.
In addition, politically the atheists lean towards the left.
However, I did add related info in the "see also" section related to prevention.Conservative (talk) 10:40, 9 May 2019 (EDT)
Another problem with this article is its insistence on saying something is a cause of something when there actually may be several causes
