"The Communist Party destroyed churches, synagogues, and mosques, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, so they introduced their own belief system called "scientific atheism," with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers."
