Summary
| Description |
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 like Mexico during the Cristero War and France during the Revolution. 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.
