If you think about it, Communism IS a religion. It has its own heretical texts (
The Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital), its own false prophets (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, Che), its own misunderstanding of how the universe works (dialectical materialism), its own made-up vision of the future (economic determinism), and its own bloody crusades (October Revolution, Cultural Revolution, etc). Communism is a false, artificial ideology just like any religion.
Except ours! Praise Jesus!
Oh, and Vlad Putin isn't a Communist, he's as right-wing as they come. Shout glory that such a Godly man has such pull with our president!
