Under Hoxha, Albania was almost completely isolated from the outside World. He forced out all religion in Albania, declaring Albania to be "the first atheist state in the World", despite several countries including the USSR becoming atheist. The Agrarian Reform Law of August 1945 nationalized most property of religious institutions, including the estates of mosques, monasteries, orders, and dioceses. Catholics were deemed to be "fascist" and all foreign Roman Catholic priests, Jesuits, monks and nuns were expelled by 1946. Towns with religious names were renamed. Beards and all hair over 4 centimeters were banned and nobody with banned hairstyles were allowed to enter the country. All religious communities were prohibited from owning real estate and operating philanthropic and welfare institutions and hospitals. Thousands of people disappeared or were killed under him, including those who openly practiced religion. Religious clerics were publicly vilified and humiliated, their vestments were taken and desecrated. More than 200 clerics of various faiths were imprisoned, others were forced to seek work in either industry or agriculture, and some were executed or starved to death. The cloister of the Franciscan order in Shkodër was set on fire, which resulted in the death of four elderly monks. By 1953, Catholic churches were drastically decreased from 253 to 100. Hoxha's regime would often humiliate those who practiced religious fasts such as Lent and Ramadan by offering them food, publicly denouncing them if they refused. By 1967, religious institutions had been forced to relinquish all 2,169 churches, mosques, cloisters, and shrines in Albania, many of which were converted into cultural centers for young people as well as warehouses and gymnasiums. In 1971, Catholic priest Shtjefën Kurti was executed for secretly baptizing a child, with his execution being kept a secret until the news was leaked to the Vatican over a year later. The penal code of 1977 imposed prison sentences of three to ten years for "religious propaganda and the production, distribution, or storage of religious literature", which meant that individuals caught with Bibles, Qurans, icons, or other religious objects would be sentenced to prison in Gulags. Many Albanians, both Christian and Muslim, would practice their faith in secret.

In 1951, he ordered the execution of 22 intellectuals without trial, accusing them of bombing the Soviet embassy in Tirana. Among them were Jonuz Kaceli, a businessman and dissident who was accused of trying to harm Prime Minister Mehmet Snehu. Kaceli was thrown off a building a day before the massacre. Mass graves can still be found in rural towns from his multiple massacres. However Hoxha did have some loose scruples as he ironically criticized [[Pol Pot|Pol Pot's]] brutality and bloodthirsty nature which was more exaggerated Hoxha's.
