Under the leadership of Pol Pot, who was an ardent Marxist atheist,[163] the Khmer Rouge enforced a policy of state atheism. According to Catherine Wessinger, “Democratic Kampuchea was officially an atheist state, and the persecution of religion by the Khmer Rouge was only matched in severity by the persecution of religion in the communist states of Albania (see Religion in communist Albania) and North Korea (see Freedom of religion in North Korea).”[164] All religions were banned, and the repression of adherents of Islam,[165] Christianity,[166] and Buddhism was extensive. It is estimated that up to 50,000 Buddhist monks were massacred by the Khmer Rouge.
The Agrarian Reform Law of August 1946 nationalized most property of religious institutions, including the estates of monasteries, orders, and dioceses. Many clergy and believers were tried, tortured, and executed. All foreign Catholic priests, monks, and nuns were expelled in 1946.
Article 256 of North Korea’s criminal law stipulates that anyone who engages in superstitious practices shall be sentenced to a labor discipline camp.[5][6] Articles 23 and 29 of the Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act explicitly prohibit the dissemination of superstition.[7][8]
EDIT : I guess there are some thin skinned edgelords coming in from !atheism@lemmy.world or whichever instance that still live like it’s the 00s and think that throwing around phrases like “Sky daddies” is the best way to manage secular discourse in public
So? That’s whataboutism. We know there’s been a lot of wrongdoings over the history. This doesn’t take away to the fact that Iranians are being killed because of religion reasons right now.
Oh ok, you want to be treated like an adult? Fine. Stop saying disrespectful childish things like “sky daddies” because it makes you seem like an immature edgelord.
He is not saying “I want to be treated like an adult”. He’s saying “your position contains a fatal logical flaw”. Which you did not address, and instead proceeded to get your panties all twisted in a bunch.
Marxism describes religion as a reaction to oppression hence Marxist in non-marxist system tends to support religious minorities. However, once marxists system is implemented, religious people become a counter point to utopia because their very existence proves that oppression still exists.
This means the number of atheists in a post marxist society actually becomes a success metric. This should explain all 3 mentioned wiki links.
I don’t have to. I want to play edgy time. Why can he say “sky daddies” but I can’t say “the cambodian genocide had a horrifying atheism motivated aspect?”

Whoa there, someone is defensive.
I guess when you worship a self-described “jealous” god who encourages slavery and genocide, you’ve got a lot it be embarrassed about huh

the one saying “sky daddies”
You still have not addressed his actual point. You are just whining about him not using your preferred nomenclature.
I don’t have to. I want to play edgy time. Why can he say “sky daddies” but I can’t say “the cambodian genocide had a horrifying atheism motivated aspect?”
You can. He says that it’s not relevant. Now you tell him why he’s wrong. You don’t whine because he’s disrespectful.
he’s wrong because he’s edgy, and the discussion on his points have been done for centuries by better people than me.
Is “jealous genocider who condones slavery and thinks women should shut the fuck up” a more accurate descriptor?
Like are you sure you want to get into it about how awful your god is?
The person you’re responding to is not the user that said sky daddy. Just a fyi
moth gets it. it can be uncomfortable when confronted with the fact that your faith is a lie and is used daily as an excuse to murder people.
