4) banned

Question: Under the communist party, organized religion in the Soviet Union was officially:

Options:

The correct answer is: 4) Banned.

Explanation: The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an objective the abolisment of religion. The Communist regime ridiculed religion, harassed believers, confiscated church property, and propagated atheism in the schools. The Soviets had originally believed that if churches were deprived of its power, religion would be quickly eliminated. When this did not happen, they took more drastic measures. In Stalin’s purges (1936-1937) tens of thousands of clergy were grouped and shot. In some areas, it even became illegal for parents to teach religion to their own children. From 1917 to the 1980s, the more religion sustained, the more the Soviets would do to eliminate it.

4) Banned

Explanation:

This idea is known as State Atheism and can be described as the official promotion of atheism by a government, eventually with coercive suppression of religious freedom and active state anticlericalism. In the case of the Soviet Union, it was impossible to tolerate a religion influence under its people. Why? Because the Communist Party should concentrate the power. The soviet atheism was influenced by the Marxist state proposition, and according to Karl Marx, religion is a kind of numbing, which consumes and blinds people's understanding of reality. Because of that, religion would be avoided, and eventually, banned.
