Summary/Abstract: The atheism of the dictatorial regime severely punished faith in God, spirituality, meditation, intellectuality, freedom of thought, expression, totally annihilated the human being. Christianity was tolerated only as a relic of the past, destined for extinction, and the testimonies of the persecuted show the aversion of the system to Christianity, which it mocked in unimaginable ways. The tormented Romanian culture deprived of reason and freedom was forced to enslave the communist regime, and the opponents were declared enemies of the people. The dungeon has become a place of culture, a place of prayer and spiritual reunion.
