You don't even know that there are and were a lot of religious communists? The official position of the Russian government was atheist, until Stalin moderated his position during the 1940s and 50s and rehabilitated the Russian Orthodox Church for his own reasons. Even during the period of deepest religious repression, there were many Christians, Jews and Muslims who were Communists with this reservation, even members of the party, and who preserved their religious beliefs and practiced their religions secretly. BTW, I always thought that the spy Alger Hiss was a Quaker. He used the Quaker forms of address, "thee" and "thou," when speaking to his wife, Priscilla, who was a Quaker, or was at least involved with the Quakers, as was Whittaker Chambers. EDIT: I just talked to somebody who says Hiss was an Episcopalian. If I"m not ready to go for waffles when my hubby gets back with the papers he won't like it! Bye for now.
