Why have you made it your life's mission to demonize and misrepresent people who find no rational basis for a belief in God?? Will this bring your imaginary god to life? Will it cause him to talk, to walk, and to throw rocks? Most varieties of Communism are opposed to religion on an ideological basis (the notable exception being Christian communism). Atheism is only the non-belief in God. Atheists can be capitalists. They can be engineers and scientists. They can have black hair or blue. If they are communists then it is the communism which supplies the ideology. I am an atheist and my ideology is completely the opposite of communism. You're being god's little helper and throwing your rocks at straw men. Probably, you fool fools. And probably you fool yourself. But your demonising attacks do not fool rational people. We hold you in some disdain for your indecency... Atheism The rational choice to disbelieve in a god. Nothing else. No ideology. Communist Ideology (Soviet communism--not Christian communism) System of government is totalitarian Property is owned by the state No free enterprise is allowed Wealth distributed equally Education and health care provided by the state Press controlled and owned by the state Classless society: all members of society are considered to be equal Focus is on the progress of the community as a whole People need one another. Human beings are social by nature, and society should respect this. Individualism is poisonous When people work together as equals, they achieve greater things No-one should have more than anyone else - everybody's needs are equally important Governments should make sure that everyone's needs are being met There is central control of the economy Religion is the opium of the people. It is incompatible with Soviet Communism. "The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness".
