Yes, this is the idea Mormons have, praying ad “baptizing millions of departed “souls” into their belief system, with no apology to any cultural difference. This is how the Mormons have created the worlds largest gyneology data base, used by researchers world wide…. Gawdblessemmm!

“George Orwell, the ascetic unbeliever whose novels gave us an ineradicable picture of what life in a totalitrian state might truly feel like, was in no doubt about this. “From the totalitarian point of view,” he wrote in “The Prevention of Literature” in 1946, “history is something to be created rather than learned. A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible.”

Christopher Hitchens

If you mean “Nazi Atheists” it’s more complicated, because the sublimation of religion to the state by Hitler was a complex process. You might say Nazis were atheists, in some ways, but many considered themselves Catholics, or Christians. But I realize that facts aren’t really important to you. You’re probably some mind warped religious nut.

I agree heaps, there are so many conceptions of atheism as a mere rejection of religion. It’s more complex to me than that, life is not just ticking a box marked”Belief” … The amazing complexity of human conciousness produces such varied and subtle ideas, perceptions, I don’t deny a religious persons complexity. I hope people accept my perceptions, but, if not, okay.
