Why are Communists threatened by Christians and any other religion in general?

Communism is religion.
And it tolerates no other.

Religion is the “opium of the people,” according to the gospel of Marx. It teaches them hope and forgiveness, but communism operates under an engine of hate, envy, and rage. The slumbering proletariat must be awakened and filled with a terrible hatred for their oppressors.

That’s really a very good question. I’m humbled to even try to answer it. There are passages in the Manifesto that some people might point to, but in my extremely subjective view, the true answers are in the Bible rather than the Manifesto. It’s just plain evil.
