What is State atheism?
'''State atheism''' is the discouragement or outlawing of [[religion]] within a country. State [[atheism]] is commonly associated with [[communist state]]s, such as the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Vietnam]], where it is based on [[Karl Marx]]'s quote ''religion is the [[opium]] of the people''. However, non-communist states can also be atheistic, such as [[Mexico]] during the [[Mexican revolution]]. [[Category:Secularism]] [[Category:Politics]]
