A:The communists thought Christianity might form an organised base from which to attack the power of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. For this reason, they thought that Atheism, the absence of religion, should be promoted. However, during the war Stalin realised that the Church could actually be of positive help to the state in mobilising public support for the defence of the nation. After the war, it soon became clear that Christian churches would continue to be of help in furthering the Soviet state's post-war political agenda. Thus, communism's support for atheism was less about disapproval of religion than about pragmatism, just as was its support in other times for the Christian Church.

What are wars mostly fought for?

Land, Resources, and Religion. In my opinion wars are not fought for establishing a certain form of government, be it democracy or communism, or for the welfare of humanity at large. Democratic and communist governments have supported and aided countries which do not fall into either of these styles of government. Instead they have in the past installed rulers who are no more than puppets in the hands of the patron countries. Bottom line - if there is a buck to be made, a war will be waged.

What is sibel religion?

You probably mean "civil" religion. This is the (usually unacknowledged) "religion" or ethical system sanctioned by the government. It is what most people of the country agree to. In the U.S., "In God We Trust" is printed on our money, but the actual god is the country itself that people believe in generally. Basically, civil religion is the way the public wants to think of itself as being instead of acknowledging the realities of who and what they really are.


Should religious phrases be removed from American money?

Technically, Seperation of Religion and State says that the government shall not endorse religion or religion in general. "In God We Trust" Is a phrase endorsing religion on a Federal bank note, so it could be lawfully considered Unconstitutional Government endorsing of Religious views. Of course, its easier to just remove the phrase instead of adding "In Allah we Trust,In God we dont trust, In The Supreme Being we trust",etc to neutralize what could be considered a religious endorsment. The US constitutionally must strive to be as neutral as possible in the matters of Religion.
