Wonderful article explaining the differences between the two ideologies. He said it all. However we are speaking up, and being shouted down, and shut down by activist judges.

The Soviets had a group called "League of Militant Atheists" lead by Emelian Michailovich Yaroslavsky. So much of what they did is similar to what the left does or one could picture them doing today. Parades at Christmas and Easter were held to mock the Christian faith. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Anne in St. Petersburg (built in 1779) was turned into a movie theater specializing in homosexual film festivals (the part of the church which was not converted into a nightclub and bar). They depicted the clergy as drunks and thieves. They banned religious schools. They taxed churches. They separated church and state and then forbid the faithful to proselytize or engage in charity work.
