But none of them, with the exemption of North Korea and possibly Pol Pot's regime, actually forbid excercising religion. They only made it more difficult by regulating the hell out of them. There was no actual persecution simply for being religious.
This becomes even harder after noticing that everyone can lie about their beliefs and simply pray at home without going to church so you can't know who's religious
