With respect to religion, the policy of the RCP consists in not limiting itself to the already-decreed separation of church from state and school from church — that is, to measures which bourgeois democracy promised but nowhere in the world carried through to completion, thanks to the manifold actual ties of capital with religious propaganda.

The Party strives toward the complete destruction of the connection between the exploiting classes and the organization of religious propaganda, as well as toward the actual liberation of the toiling masses from religious prejudices, organizing for this purpose the broadest scientific-educational and anti-religious propaganda. At the same time, it is necessary to take careful pains to avoid any offense to the feelings of believers, which only leads to the entrenchment of religious fanaticism.
