Summary/Abstract: According to the author's point of view, atheist politics, expressed not only as secular-ization and profanation of religious objects and practices, but also as organized pog-roms on them, is a vivid manifestation of the totalitarian regime, not – an accidental perversion of an otherwise "normal" system. The only thing that seems "normal" (be-cause it is characteristic of the totalitarian state in principle) in this policy is the sys-tematic absurdity with invention of traditions, ritual practices and whole sciences such as atheismology and atheology.
