Yes, and again, modern communist governments are officially atheist. Given that, do you honestly think it is a big coincidence that communist governments persecute all forms of theism?
If so, why do they have churches, pagodas and mosques in China? They might as well slaughter them to oblivion... lot cheaper, and easier too.
Additionally, all Communist governments promote and propagate athletic and scientific institutions with an extreme passion, far more enthusiastically than they do, Atheism. Should we shun these, too?
Recognise the criminal behind the weapon- Communism.
