Question: Under the communist party, organized religion in the Soviet Union was officially:
<em>Options:</em>
- 1) Tolerated
- 2) Encouraged
- 3) Subsidized
- 4) Banned
Answer: The correct answer is: <u>4) Banned.</u>
Explanation: The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an objective the abolisment of religion. The Communist regime ridiculed religion, harassed believers, confiscated church property, and propagated atheism in the schools. The Soviets had originally believed that if churches were deprived of its power, religion would be quickly eliminated. When this did not happen, they took more drastic measures. In Stalin’s purges (1936-1937) tens of thousands of clergy were grouped and shot. In some areas, it even became illegal for parents to teach religion to their own children. From 1917 to the 1980s, the more religion sustained, the more the Soviets would do to eliminate it.
The correct answers are A) saw no important differences between civil and religious crimes. D) no real religious freedom was practiced among the Puritans. E) Magistrates administered laws of the colony and rules of the church.

When the second wave of Puritans arrived at the new continent they established in three different regions. These were Rhode Island, New Heaven colony, and the Massachusetts Bay colony. John Winthrop was the first governor of the Bay and led the immigrant families to form reformer Protestantism that was called “city upon a hill”, in reference of the new city of Israel, with peaceful, educated, and religious people.

Answer:
Great Britain.
Explanation:
The foregoing is an excerpt from Thomas Paine's prose on the separation of the United State of America from the "whims and caprices" of Great Britain. The prose emphasized that the relationship between England and America at that time was unequally yoked, and this was not meant to be. The author was of the view that there was an urgent need for separation of the two countries. According to him, even nature supports his argument, considering the proximity between the two countries and the time both countries were discovered.
