State Atheism

"Not to be confused with Secularism"

State Atheism is an ideology that advocates for a godless society for all of its citizens. State atheists tend to believe that religion in society should be immensely discouraged, and will suppress all religions by any means necessary. While atheism on its own simply means no belief in any religious deities (with there being various atheist-leaning religions such as Buddhism), state atheism takes on a more overtly anti-theist approach.

Beliefs
State atheism is the incorporation of positive atheism into political regimes. It often refers to large-scale secularization attempts by governments. It is a form of religion-state relationship that is usually ideologically linked to irreligion and the promotion of irreligion to some extent. State atheism may refer to a government's promotion of anti-clericalism, which opposes religious institution power and influence in all aspects of public and political life, including the involvement of religion in the everyday life of their citizens.

History
State atheism has its historical roots in being practiced by Marxist-Leninist countries, religion is considered the "opium of the masses" that must be fought against. Many of these countries put significant restrictions on religious freedom or banned them outright entirely and actively persecuted their followers.

Personality and Behaviour
State Atheism acts like a typical "Reddit atheist". They love wearing a fedora and browsing r/Atheism. They think "sky daddy" jokes are the pinnacle of comedy, and think all religious people are ignorant and/or brainwashed. They also think that religion was invented by someone who was scared of dying. Despite their harsh attitude towards religion, they know almost nothing on the topic, and refuses to even entertain the idea that theists might be correct. They like to correct people when they say phrases like "God bless you", and talk about how much they loves science despite not knowing much about it. They often get into arguments with Progressivism, due to their disdain for non-Christian religions like Islam and Judaism. They also love reading Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan.
