"So are gods. Find one that you can prove wasn't just thought up by someone, and maybe you'll be on to something."
Sorry pal, not gonna fly. Religion requires faith, not human construction. The State requires human construction. You don't need faith to believe in it--it exists. And when the Communists control it, they'll make certain that you believe in it and obey it...or else. To believe in something divine requires the freedom to embrace it willingly. There is nothing like that in a Communist State.
But anyway, I can see you are too entrenched in your talking points to see the light.
> Religion requires faith, not human construction.
Without "human construction," there'd be no religion.

So... what is it that makes Communists believe that their system is better, when all the evidence points the other way? *Faith.*
> To believe in something divine requires the freedom to embrace it willingly.
Really? So how about all those throughout history who have been forced to believe in some particular alien god - Allah, say - and whose descendants have had no choice in the matter, yet believe anyway?
