Blood feuds were also targeted and, according to not always reliable socialist statistics, they were entirely eradicated. This was achieved once again by the use of draconian methods. Those who participated in blood feud violence were summarily executed, and if property was the issue it was confiscated by the government. Folklore suggests that in some cases Hoxha ordered the killers to be buried alive in the coffins of their victims.

The Albanian-American scholar Arshi Pipa summarizes Hoxha's policy as follows:

Hoxha was decisive in producing a cultural atmosphere totally dominated by a doctrinaire propaganda exalting nationalism. Linguistics, literature, history, folklore and ethnology have been cultivated, not only to give the people a sense of their own past, but also to spread and inculcate xenophobia, slavophobia, isolationism, ethnic compactness, and linguistic uniformity.

Because of Albania's religious diversity, he saw it as a divisive factor, unlike in much of the rest of the Balkans where religion played an important national unifying role. Hoxha also feared, particularly with the Catholics, that the church would continue to serve as a potential conduit for foreign influence. The suppression of organized religion began with particular brutality in 1967. All places of worship were closed, many clerics were arrested, and Albania was officially declared to be the world's first atheist state. As in most of his initiatives, Hoxha tended towards the extreme—in this case issuing an order making it obligatory for both parents and children to assume non-religious names. Albanian children were henceforth named after geographical features and figures from the country's mythology, or given freshly coined names. One of the more unfortunate examples of the latter was "Marenglen" a combination of Marx, Engels, and Lenin.
