I'd call it convenience. It's an association fallacy and extremely simplistic. The man attended a religious primary school and then seminary. He actively suppressed information about himself (as paranoid dictatorial fucks often do) and so establishing that he was even an atheist as opposed to a politician who found atheism to be a useful platform (as so often happens with religion as well) is shaky - at best (not mind you, that I'd care hide or hair if the man believed in a god or not). Meanwhile, it is demonstrably true that his communist parties distaste for religion was very accurately a distaste for mixed loyalties. "Thou shalt have no god before the state".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
