A History of Totalitarian Surrealism › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)
"Censorship became so embedded in people’s consciousness that they willingly engaged in self-censorship. Ideology was jammed down people’s throats while the bureaucratic ideologues greatly feared religion. One such case was of a young girl who became miraculously cured after she was visited by a priest. The authorities were so obsessed with proving that it wasn’t God who saved her that they engaged in persecution of this poor girl. Satter rightly points out the funny irony: the very obsession with proving that God doesn’t exist acknowledges that God is present in people’s lives."
