You may want to open a book at some point in your life and educate yourself about the things you're blabbering about. First point of call would be the question if religion was actually forbidden or just not encouraged in european communist countries and the Soviet Union. I give you a clue, it was the latter and people weren't killed because of their religion. Not even Pol Pot killed to enforce atheism but because he wanted to be rid of the intelligencia, which he perceived as a threat.
Again, if you're playing stupid and fail to see the distinction between the underlying ideology of marxism (which was also perverted) and atheism which was encouraged but not enforced, I'm treating you as such. And please don't come up with that single quote by Karl Marx, which he made as a response to Hegl in 1844 and never put in any of his books.
That's it by the way, since it's often quoted wrongly.
Quote:"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people"
So, there's context to it and not a call to aboliosh religion.
