State prosecution of religious people and institutions , again NOT atheism.
it was (not anymore) marxism-leninism which seeks to rid religion (for its own political gains) not atheism. We already explained this on this last page
"Castro led a 1959 revolution and transformed the Caribbean island into a communist state, ruling it for 49 years before stepping down due to poor health in 2008. Under his rule, Cuba for years called itself an atheist state, although relations with the Church have improved over the past two decades."
I could go on and on. there is no link, there can't be. No single person, let alone a political ideology, can represent atheism. Just seems more fear mongering, associate something you don't like with something people are afraid of (communism in this case) so that people fear both. It's a good tactic to control people .
