In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.

(Article 124 of 1936 “Stalin” constitution)

Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited. In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

(Article 52 of 1977 constitution)
That sure worked out well . . .

For entirely selfish reasons, I have decided to repeat the Pirate Religion joke I posted earlier on another thread ('cause I think it's pretty funny):

Pirates have a church? Are they Eastern Arrrrrrthodox?

(with apologies to those who have already seen it)
