I commend you Whetstone, you seem to have really done your reseach, but what you're neglecting is that the only reason the commies where athiest is to prevent any organized religion to subvert their total control over society, same goes for china and north korea, there's a difference between that and philosophical atheism, also, athiests do not have implied agreement with prominent athiests, as cathlics do for the pope, so saying what you did is like saying anglicans suck becuase of henry the 8th
