One reason why many people in Eastern Europe do not belong to any religion is that religion was discouraged by the Soviet Union's government. During the Soviet era, which spanned much of the 20th century, there was a policy of state atheism, and religious practices were often suppressed or discouraged. This had a lasting impact on the religious landscape of Eastern European countries, and many people became less affiliated with organized religions during this period. The decline in religious adherence persisted even after the end of the Soviet Union in 1991.
