If Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro all became Atheist do you think they'd reunite?

Yugoslavia was a wonderful idea, that superseded petty self interest, that tried to unite the republics as separate entities with a common goal, sharing the ties of culture, language and tradition. Religion was an obstacle, that's why communists very intelligently didn't ban it, but made it a laughable thing, sort of disrespectful to be engaging in for any rational, intelligent man.

However, with the death of Yugoslavia, extreme religion emerged (look up clerofashism) where the priests again emerged as "guardians of morals and the people", supporting war, violence against homosexuals or any liberal values, and trying to invoke the moral authority of a 13th century institution. Problem with Balkan people is that they are much more emotional than rational, and will buy that.

So to answer the question, if Balkan people evolve so much to understand the danger of tradition invoking religion and can overcome the divisions of the past, yeah, they would.

   

#WarOnChristmas

Interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th, or the winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to move south and get smaller and more scarce. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun. By December 22nd, the Sun's demise was fully realized, for the Sun, having moved south continually for 6 months, makes it to it's lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs: the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably, for 3 days. During this 3 day pause, the Sun resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross, or Crux, constellation. And after this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring. And thus it was said: the Sun died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again. This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods share the crucifixion, 3-day death, and resurrection concept. It is the Sun's transition period before it shifts its direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring, and thus salvation.
