Reply #52: Communism is a political ideology...

[and-justice-for-all]

that is very clear. But in that Political ideology is the notion of replacing an invisible god with a flesh and blood man-god to be worshiped, the center of it all was the Chancellor/president/dictator who was to be praised and revered as a deity.

There is in fact a religiousness to communism, standard religions were of course seen as a threat, a challenge to the dictator who was a god in their mind.

Atheism was not prevalent and is not involved in communism, Communism is STATE WORSHIP.

"The League was a "nominally independent organization established by the Communist Party to promote atheism." It published newspapers, journals, and other materials that lampooned religion; it sponsored lectures and films; it organized demonstrations and parades; it set up antireligious museums; and it led a concerted effort to persuade Soviet citizens that religious beliefs and practices were "wrong" and harmful, and that good citizens ought to embrace a scientific, atheistic worldview" Daniel Peris Storming the Heavens: The Soviet League of the Militant Godless Cornell University Press 1998

It sounds to me that Atheism was used as a tool and was not the reason for the attempted coup d'tat of religion. Communism was the reason and Atheism was just a tool.

I see nothing wrong with such an INDEPENDANT group, that also worked on a volunteer bases. Why is that called militant I do not know and I disagree with that notion that Atheism is some sort of militant organiztion. Simply because it brings to light the facts about religion, it shines a light on its flaws and does not let it sleather by unnoticed.

You seem to be taking things out of context and reaching for something that simply is not there.
