Abstract
Since the Second World War, the Albanian communist regime sought to reduce the impact of churches in the country. The anticlerical procedure culminated in 1967 when the regime proscribed the religious institutions.
Finally, under the new constitution of 1976, Albania was declared atheist country. Analysis of Albanian contemporary press and official ideological artefacts focuses on religious matter and investigates not only the anticlerical argumentation but also monitors the role of religion in the ideology of Albanian communist state.
