Yuri Gagarin was a great celebrity and a great public-relations tool for the worldwide

perception and reputation of the Soviet Union. The USSR and Communism in general

were strongly atheistic, so if Gagarin had any significant religious tendencies, they were

strongly hidden from view by his handlers.

One time, while referring to Gagarin's one and only space flight, Soviet Premier Khruschev

reported that Gagarin had remarked during his orbital flight "Everything around me up here

is beautiful, and I see no sign of any god."
