Ecuatorial Guinea under Francisco Macias´ regime
[edit]Macías declared the state as atheist and prosecuted religious practices, there are multiple bibliographical documentation such as Klinteberg, Robert af (1978). Equatorial Guinea – Macías Country. The Forgotten Refugees. Ginebra: International Universitary Exchange Found. 92.189.253.95 (talk) 10:19, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
Deletion request: The entire article 18 paragraph
[edit]Similar criticism could be lievbied against a lot of secular states that in reality persecute minority beliefs, such as vast parts of the Christofascist States of America waging war agains US secularism on a state level. Having a section on article 18 viloations only here reeks of bad faith editing by that kind of Christian playing the victim card in bad faith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201:53:cedb:b4ef:5caf:7c72:8fab (talk • contribs)
- In my opinion the imbalance from the inclusion of information about human rights violations here but the absence of information about similar ofences in other articles should be remedied by adding it to those articles, not by removing it from this article.

- We're not going to be deleting part of this article because you're unhappy that it's not in other articles. Go edit those articles. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:28, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
North Korea Really Atheistic?
[edit]Kind of curious if North Korea could really be quantified as promoting state-atheism given the entire country has been reoriented into a cult worshiping the Kim family as what are gods in everything but name. Kim Il-Sung did not defecate, he never failed at anything, he invented numerous items of global importance such as basketball, shrines to him must be protected less the owner be charged with treason (signifying a level of faux-animism or iconolatry), and he remains the "eternal leader" according to the constitution. While the Kim Cult is materialistic in nature, it definitely has deities. ~2026-87312-1 (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
