How did communism during the age of totalitarian control affect religion? a. citizens were permitted free practice of any religion. v. atheism became the official state policy. c. the government increased the number of russian orthodox churches in the country. d. catholicism became the official national religion

The right answer is "Atheism became the official state policy."

Explanation:

Atheism - the lack of belief in God´s existence - is a characteristic of communist regimes and Communist Parties. All the great thinkers of Marxism - Marx, Engels , Lenin - were atheists. Marx even called religion "the opium of the masses." Under totalitarian communism, not only the state was formally atheist, but it also discouraged religious activities by citizens through indoctrination. It also closed or destroyed churches, it often prohibited religious expressions. Examples of such states are the extinct Soviet Union and Mao´s Red China.
