Clergy face fines or prison for unregistered activity, while believers pursue home Bible studies and services amid official limits.

A guide pleads for nonbelievers, stressing separation of church and state, freedom of conscience, and that many scientists remain religious but do not attend church. She asserts Marxist materialism and pride in teaching atheism.
