A secular country doesn't have to be communist or socialist. An example of a country that doesn't have a state religion is New Zealand. This doesn't stop Christian groups trying to influence the rest of the country, but they are fighting a losing battle. 40% of NZers have no religious affiliation. Its a pretty good place to live. There are many countries developing this way. It is the way of the future.

First of all, countries don't believe in things, people do. Second, communist or socialist isn't synonymous with atheist or agnostic. That being said, the following countries are commonly considered "communist" (according to Wikipedia): China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam.
However, you might actually be more interested in something like the U.S. State Department's Annual Report to Congress on International Religious Freedom, see http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2005/51386.htm

Communism was an economic system and has collapsed in most of the countries. In communist countries a size able portion of people believe in God.Your should revise the question.

can't answer the question with total accuracy but wanted to comment on a few of the answers referring to communism and atheism: surely no one can argue that belief in God and religous worship wasn't/isn't highly repressed under communist regimes. Karl Marx himself was an atheist and communism is in total philosophical opposition to a belief in God.
