"For some reason it seems to take a religious worldview to recognize the wisdom of private ownership of all property."

Sorry Michael but I don't think this is true at all. As Steven already pointed out in his response, you have made the (il)logical leap from "communists are atheists" to "atheists are communists." There is absolutely nothing to support this inference, and I suggest that if you really do believe this to be true you should trot it over to the Libertarian thread and see what they think of it. Libertarians are so pro-capitalism that it scares most people and in my experience they also tend more towards the agnostic to atheist end of the religious spectrum.

I'd also be curious as to how you explain the collectivism in a religious nation of the Israeli kibbutz.
