Communist countries often promote (or even striclty enforce) atheism. There, the most powerful religion tends to be communism.

More a cult of personality than communism per se.

Oh, sorry, never responded. Which personality? Chairman Mao? Things I"ve seen about Communist China seems to be more about doing things for The Party than any one member nowadays.

Sounds a lot like Democratic and Republican bullshit, actually.

And I can't believe I didn't say this sooner...

People kill people and blame it on religion.

Religion doesn't kill people, people kill people. emotion_awesome
