"Communism certainly had the entirely religion"

Religion and ideology share most of the same faults: Absolutism, dogmatism, intolerance, special status, etc. The difference is that ideologies may utilize a "god"--but need not do so. Religion has a creator or creators.

Atheists CAN be Ideologues (as we see in Communism)--but they are not necessarily Ideologues --nor need they have any particular ideology. Atheists are simply people who do not believe in a god.

Some forms of Communism require atheism. But atheism NEVER requires communism, or any other ideology.
