>> He [Stalin] was an avowed atheist

I disagree. Communism has far more in common with Christianity than with your modern atheism. The main difference between Communism and Christianity is the dispute over the creation. On the other hand,

They both believe the meek (workers) shall inherit the world.

They both believe in their manifest destiny.

They both believe they are a force for good and are fighting against the evil.

They both preach about loving one's neighbor (different flavors to be sure, but ultimately they draw their appeal from loving one's fellow man).

But ultimately, it is most religious aspects of Communism, belief in manifest destiny and final battle between the two sides, that makes avid communists prone to becoming ruthless dictators.
