@matrix he's right that atheism isn't politically neutral though.
@matrix concepts that people adhere to are socially constructed and have a history of its formation and execution, and a population of adherents.

caveman who has never heard of God and is de-facto atheist is a different scenario from atheism in the first world that has been reified into a political position and a movement.
@moonman @matrix I guess it's harder to grasp when in Czechland being a boring atheist is the default
@waifu @matrix boring is the important part, in the USSR atheism was built into the ideology and had all kinds of consequences.
@moonman @matrix @waifu especially after 68 comrades tried pretty hard to make things as much like russia as possible

I don't buy that the USSR is the cause of Czech atheism, because other part of the Soviet block didn't become atheist. We're the only one.

@matrix @moonman @waifu @karen Czechia had a history of breaking away from established religions. Look up Jan Hus.
