Soviet union discouraged religion.
Explanation:
While th<u>e Soviet union never outright outlawed religion it was a firm believer in the fact that a true communist society would be one in which religion has no place. </u>
<u>As such, religious property was confiscated and religious leaders often got harassed. </u>
The state policy was to promote atheism in the new generation through schools and other modes of education and closing down of mass gatherings of religious nature.
