Summary[edit]

DescriptionMap of state atheism.svg	English: A colour‐coded world map showing nations that formally practised and currently practise state atheism. Most countries that practise and have practised state atheism were Communist countries, with notable exceptions included France during the French First Republic and Mexico during the Cristero War. In addition, some Communist states like Somalia did not adopt state atheism and instead blended Marxist-Leninist social policies with the existing state religion of the country at the time.   Countries that formerly practised state atheism   Countries that currently practise state atheism
