    		Albania was proclaimed the world's first atheist state in 1973.

    Although this link, also to Wikipedia says 1967.

    "On the other hand, Albania under Enver Hoxha became, in 1967, the first (and to date only) formally declared atheist state. Hoxha went far beyond what most other countries had attempted and completely prohibited religious observance, systematically repressing and persecuting adherents. The right to religious practice was restored in 1990."
