During World War 2, Stalin needed to motivate more and more people to support the Soviet Union's cause in the war. so he softened the Soviet Union's official stance against the Russian Orthodox religion. Even though the Soviet Union was officially anti-religion, the vast majority of its peoples continued to be religious minded. Stalin wanted to create in the minds of all Soviet citizens a feeling of nationalism that would bring Soviet peoples together to fight against the Germans.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a religious based musical. However, it never mentions God. It tells the story of Joseph and how his brothers sell to to Ishmaelites and he becomes a king. While it is religious based it can easily be passed off as just a story.
