Why did the ussr adopt atheism as an official state policy?
to eliminate one potential source of conflict and opposition
because lenin did not believe in god
so that the ussr would be different from other european nations
to create a society in which everyone was equal

The first answer is correct (A).

The USSR was officially atheist since Soviet socialism had a Marxist-Leninist orientation. That is a perspective points to two causes of opposition to religion, scientific socialism, and manipulation of the working class promoted through religion.

After a period of tension between the power of the Soviet state and the Orthodox churches, the churches were persecuted and had their properties confiscated. The excuse was the division of wealth of the church among the population, but the central element was the cleavage of any power conflict with the church.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
