Might want to educate yourself on the difference between communism and atheism. Atheism one and only common claim is the absence of a divine being. Between that there are many different shades, ranging from some being communists to some adoring Ayn Rand. It's not a belief system, unless you attach some ideology to it.
Are you serious? what part of "state sanctioned atheism" did you not understand?
I'll make it simple for you...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxist%E2%...st_atheism
Marxist–Leninist atheism (Russian: Марксистско-ленинский атеизм) is a part of the wider Marxist–Leninist philosophy (the type of Marxist philosophy found in the Soviet Union), which rejects religion and advocates a materialist understanding of nature. Marxism-Leninism holds that religion is the opium of the people, in the sense of promoting passive acceptance of suffering on Earth in the hope of eternal reward. Therefore, Marxism-Leninism advocates the abolition of religion and the acceptance of atheism. Marxist-Leninist atheism has its roots in the philosophy of Ludwig Feuerbach, G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin.
