P.S. I dont have an opinion on this at the moment I want to hear what others have to say.
Does not believing in religion make a person an atheist?

Right thats Carl Marx right? So that implies that one of the principles of Communism is that atheism is a good thing?
Most religious people are communists. They want to be charitable and lookout for one another. The reason religious people support capitalism is because they're still under the red-scare impression that communists are godless assholes who want to slaughter them and destroy anything Biblicaly related.
Not true, most communists really don't care. They just want to control the means of production to minimize crime.
If the government controls the drug industry, how can people become addicts? You can only get drugs if the government says it's okay.
If the government controls welfare and contraceptives, how can people become whores? You risk losing all your health bennefits if you annoy the government.
Communism is just the logical conclusion that mankind as an individual cannot be trusted to run thier own life. Individualism leads to debauchery, violence, dellussion, and suffering. Capitalism only exsists to perpetuate individualism.
Religious people should be communist. It's even in the Bible.
"Mankind cannot have two masters. They must choose between God and Mammom (Greed)."
I'm paraphrasing, but you get the general idea.
Communism was created by capitalists known as The Illuminati to divide the people amongst themselves and make them wage wars against each other.
Here are some more of the "isms" created by The Illuminati, you might have heard of some of them:
theism fascism nazism communism capitalism feminism darwinism dogmatism scepticism nihilism racism idealism occultism spiritualism catholicism materialism egoism judaism polytheism baptism paganism conservatism hinduism pantheism satanism realism vegetarianism ritualism paganism emotionalism altruism mysticism criticism esotericism christianism pessimism barbarism buddhism fanaticism theism asceticism transcendentalism gnosticism monotheism

Communism in practice has always been a athiestic system (as far as I know) but it is not explicitly needed in order to be Communist.
Originally posted by inimalistI think in a very academic sense, communism is atheistic, in that it recognizes no God. .
This is what I can not understand no matter how hard I try: what economic system "recognizes God?"
Part of this entire confusion with crap comes from no one even understanding what it is and even today people confuse it for a political system.
Rhetoric is so important...

You're right. Someone got very confused.Communism cannot be recognised as religion. Communism as an idea, that is.
It is exactly like saying Capitalism or Socialism can be considered religions. They are not and they cannot.
Its a complitely different phenomenon altogether.
You are correct but both religions and political ideologies can be dogmatic...in which case they are hard to tell apart...Mao's China for example, clearly it was a religion based on his principles...

Yes, but religion is separate from the idea of a god. The communists where against religion, not necessarily any god.

Theism does not make you religious, you can simply believe that all the evidence suggests a creator of the universe and just leave it at that...
