Not really a fan, but honestly on the scale of "state atheism" I would say it lies in the better end, and I think that in many ways it was necessary for France, because the Catholic Church in the early 20th century neededto lose power. I'm less convince that it have really served as a positive factor in Turkey.

[The Last Northerner]

FF. A positive example is comparing Turkey, a relatively modernized and secular nation, to most of its neighbors. I'd prefer a more stringent approach though.

[Intell]

Horrible, as is all 'secular' things, though this is state atheism.

[DemPGH]

Massive FF. I consider that sort of thing a very positive step.

[VPH]

Mixed. HP in that it is applied in a biased fashion and goes too far sometimes. FF because separation of church and state is good.

[Goldwater]

Generally positive, although it's sometimes taken to silly and ridiculous extremes.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

State atheism that's too gutless to be what it is. HP.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Mixed. HP in that it is applied in a biased fashion and goes too far sometimes. FF because separation of church and state is good.

[Cassius]

Terrible.
