Communism is not atheism and atheism is not communism. Materialism is not communism and communism is not materialism. You are a liar for propigating such a well-debunked falsehood.

Unbelievable! How can anyone say that Communism (and it is spelled with a capital 'C' - and this is not knitpicking, it is important) is not atheistic and materialistic! And you dare to insult someone for saying that it is? Guess Stalin and Mao gave prayers to the Holy Spirit? Guess they built churches? Or did they destroy them and killed anyone who dared to express any sort of religious beliefs?

Here's some revealing quotes:

When FDR suggested to Stalin at Potsdam that the Pope should be consulted in the partitioning of postwar Europe, Stalin quipped, "How many divisions does the Pope have?". If that's not an atheistic materialist statement, I don't know what is.

One more:

"Power flows from the barrel of a gun"--Mao Zedong (using the pinyin translation of his name, otherwise Mao Tse Tung).

How can anyone say that Communism (and it is spelled with a capital 'C' - and this is not knitpicking, it is important) is not atheistic and materialistic!

I did not make any assertions regarding the properties of communism apart from the fact that it is not synonymous with atheism nor is it synonmous with materialism. Communism is an economic structure, atheism and materialism are not economic structures. Further, Human Vitae claimed that atheistic materialism is communism, which is not true.

Even if a communistic regime attempts to forcibly eradicate religion, that does not equate atheism and communism.
