It's (possibly) better to have no tolerance for religion at all that to

North Korea doesn't recognize any religion.

Karl Marx declared that religion is the opium of the people. He meant
that people ingest that stuff to make them forget about the pathetic
condition they live in. If they were liberated from the chains of their
kings, queens and monarchs and worked together instead, they could
improve their lives immensely without having to rely on some sort of
Diety to give them heaven in their afterlife for all the suffering they
tolerated while alive.

No communist regime that follows the teachings of Karl Marx will
tolerate any form of religion. Neither North Korea, nor China, nor
Russia, nor Cuba recognize any religion. Despite that, people in those
countries still practice their own religions in small private groups.







True. Under a repressive regime people are still going to carry their
beliefs no matter what.


My dad always told me that "if your religion makes you a better person,
I'm all for it. "

I agree with that.

It's too bad that all too often in makes people worse.
