I'm aware of that. I consider that a backclash from the days when religion was the forbidden fruit and one of the few ways to show disagreement with the regime.
The thing is that religion wasn't forbidden fruit and church was not oppressed or at least it didn't look like clergy claims it looked like. If history books I read aren't wrong in this church could speak about oppression only till 1956, after that date there were clashes with occasional outbursts.
For example during the years 1975-1990 over 1500 churches were built. It hardly speak of hardships that church allegedly suffered.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
