Wouldn't Atheism be a religion? And would this be the state Promoting a Atheistic religion as a state religion? Atheists have to make the same "Leap of faith" that believers do...yet they are free and clear to promote their religion over those that make a "leap of Faith" that a Higher Power Exists....
What kind of Communist Double speak is that.

Not at all. Atheism is a positive belief, a belief that there is no God. A true atheist is as certain as any religious true believer. "The state promoting an atheistic religion" would mean an active assertion of atheistic belief, as the Soviets did. Simply not mentioning the topic at all does not qualify.
