A:It is not so much that Atheism was needed, as that the communists thought Christianity might form an organised base from which to attack the power of the Communist Party. 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 Soviet Union. After the war, iIt 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 pragmatic at most, just as was its support in other times for the Christian Church.

What wave can not propagate in vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.


Is there a cure for atheism?

Religion is not a disease, and so lack of religion is not a disease. It is just a reasonable conclusion one might reach on discovering there is no evidence that God exists. For this there is no cure, and of course none needed.


What energy from the pool is needed to form a wave and where did the energy come from?

The energy needed to form a wave in a pool comes from a combination of factors such as wind, gravity, or a mechanical force. This energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of the water particles, causing them to oscillate and propagate as a wave.

What are some good internet sites about the basics of atheism?

Basics in this sense refers to a statement of the fundamental facts or principles. There are no fundamental principles of atheism. Atheism is simply by definition a lack of belief in gods.OpinionThe best site I would recommend is Austin Cline's atheism.about.com This is a great place to start for all the basics in regards to atheism, philosophy, religion in general and current events that relate to these subject matters. There are other great sites but this is the best starting point. There are no principles of atheism, any site one might mention could only have to do with humanism. Atheism is not a belief system. Atheism is merely a descriptive term used to denote an absence of belief in a supernatural god. Many "atheists" contest the validity of labelling a group by their lack of belief from the viewpoint that no one is labelled as a "non-believer in unicorns" or a "non-believer in pots of gold at the end of rainbows."OpinionThe reason that the term "atheism" does exist is that religious believers comprise a large majority worldwide. A simple term to differentiate a non-believer as such is naturally needed, thus "atheism." A common misconception among religious believers is that a lack of belief in a higher moral power puts a non-believer in a position of vulnerability with regard to moral resolve. For instance, if there is no reckoning with an ultimate moral authority at the end of life, what would prevent people from robbing banks or murdering if they knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that they could pull it off without getting caught. The following websites address this and other commonly cited misgivings about secular humanism and atheism.See the discussion page for links.

Existentialism can be defined as a philosophy that sees human existence in an indifferent universe, unexplainable, that we have freedom of choice and are responsible for our own acts: each person's experience is as a unique individual rather than a member of a collective. There is no ultimate purpose. There is no created meaning (or purpose) for life and humans can create their own meaning.

How did the political ideology of Nazism lead to World War 2?

The political ideology of Nazism led to World War II for fundamentally one reason: the Nazis were committed to world-dominance, if only one step at a time. As outlined by Hitler in his writings and speeches, the German people deserved not only to enjoy prominence in their own region; they deserved (and basically needed) to achieve dominance throughout the world.


Is a source of energy needed to start a mechanical wave?

No, a source of energy is not needed to start a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are created by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as air or water, and propagate through that medium without needing a continuous external energy source to sustain them. Once initiated, the wave will continue to move until it encounters an obstacle or dissipates.
