Christianity and jewish thoughts certainly conditioned the thoughts of Karl Marx and the Crusades that lasted from 1090s till 1260s had certainly influenced his conclusions on the general nature of organised religions in Europe. But apart from that there is nothing that warrants any comparison between the two.
Marxism minus proletarian dictatorship is not Christianity, nor if Marxism starts believing in God it becomes Christianity.

The definition comes from a properly universal atheist, hence i'll in straight forward words imagine it being a no longer so veiled grievance to pantheism as a "remodeled" and better glamourous (or renowned) version of atheism. the version between both, except for the obtrusive language conflict between pan- and a-, is the start element; atheists imagine there's no god in besides, therefore no debate on him/her/it really is significant. Even the definition of atheist is amazingly absurd, in case you imagine about it, for what might want to ensue if easily everyone were defined through what one isn't or doesn't believe in? we would have a-dragonists, a-winnipooists, a-spidermanists, a-pinkelephantists etc. A pantheist, on the different hand, believes the total universe is god and god is in each and every thing . In doing so, he/she denies the existence of a transcendent deity, that is on the bottom of each and every faith from monotheist to pagan, therefore Dawkins' strange simile.

Marx was a political philosopher who wrote a very good analysis of capitalism. Marxism is a political philosophy based on basic misunderstandings of his theories. Capitalist politicians denigrate Marx but use his equations and apply his economic theory in everything that they do. His work is the basis of modern economics. Christ was a fictional being.

Yes, because Marxism has the theory of historical evolution. Feudalism - Capitalism - Revolution! - Socialism - Communism Christianity does not have this. You could say, however, that Christianity is - ought to be - communist (note the lower case c, which differentiates it from Communism, the political Party/system!). Early Christian communities were communist, religious orders today are communist, and I think that that's ideally how we are called to be.

wow! Well, just to set records straight, you might want to be careful with the word dictatorship. I also do not believe that Christianity has inherently anything to do with political structures (apart from the churches' abuse of their power for politics) in the past. So, I reckon. Christianity equals Marxism minus atheism, if you do not look closely at the definitions of any of them.

LOL, maybe not. I suppose there's no difference with islam either... minus allah and plus jesus. So what's the point?
Actually marxism is missing the jesus thing, so I think your analogy is false.
