Not to mention that elimination of religion (an ideological objective of the USSR) isn't "atheism", nor is confiscating and burning religious texts, supressing religious worship, or harassing/executing believers.

They didn't do any of that "in the name of atheism". They did all that because they wanted control, and the church had had it for so long they wanted to destroy it.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
