I can feel your anger

Although atheism is heavily linked with communism it is not a necessary requirement of the ideology. In the case of communism, it was not so much about persecuting those with a religion, as it was about eliminating any perceived threat to the progress of communism. Cuba, for instance, adapted the trend in communism of eliminating religious institutions; however, it later abandoned that approach and instead allowed citizens to worship within the confines of law.

So, it has nothing to do with atheism, and everything to do with pushing communism. Had Marx decided that one religion was above all others and fit in with his/Lenin's idea of a communist state, it would have been atheists who made up the greatest number of those persecuted. What I am saying is, it was communism that adopted atheism and not the other way around.

Dude, you literally fucking ignored the entire point of my question. Reading is fucking fundamental.

I don't give two fucks whether Communism was actually atheist or not. I don't give two fucks whether Communism was actually responsible for anything.

What I'm trying to get at right now is what it would mean for 'atheism' to be responsible for a set of actions, in the same way that 'theism' is said to be responsible for a set of actions.
