I am NOT saying that all atheist are communist, but all communist are atheist. Look at China, how many atheist do you think live there? Same is true for North Korea and Cuba. Do you agree ?

If you were to look at China, you would see a lot of people who are Buddhist or into Confucionism. Many Cubans are Catholic. You cannot make a blanket statement claiming that ALL communists are athiest. World Religions 101. Try it.

Communism does not necessarily have to lead to atheism. In communist countries churches were forbidden because they took away from people's sole allegiance to the state. A religious credo also often prevented the acceptance of morality based solely on the good of the masses (community). If, as most religions teach, all life is sacred, they how can the state justify killing someone merely for holding a differing set of opinions. Check out the history of the Russian Orthodox Church.

In North Korea, the national faith is Atheism and they follow the system of "Juche." There are secret underground Churches in North Korea and they have thousands, perhaps millions of Christians in concentration camps there. The government wants their people to be atheists, but the final choice is up the people. The government there is trying to obliterate Christianity which isn't happening with all the Underground activities of believers. Government can't choose what the people believe. They sure can execute them though.

No, that is dumb.
Communism is political party. Not every one who is a member of a political party agrees with every party line. I've been to China. I met Christians who live there. Just because they are communist does not mean they are atheist. Just like all republicans are not conservative Christians.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that Chinese people have a religion.
The People's Republic of China is officially secular and atheist but it does allow personal religion or supervised religious organization. Buddhism (Chinese: 佛教; pinyin: Fójiào) and Taoism (Chinese: 道教; pinyin: Dàojiào), along with an underlying Confucian morality, have been the dominant religions of Chinese society for almost two millennia. Personal religion is more widely tolerated in the PRC today, so there has been a resurrection of interest in Buddhism, Islam, and Taoism.
(from Wikipedia).
So, here you are!

Why are you only asking Christians?
Is it that you fear the opinion of a heathen and a logical viewpoint?
The fact that you say "all" means you are very narrowminded and/or uneducated. You cannot possibly know what all people of a particular society believe.
Look at your own added details. Again, "Chrisitans only". Do you honestly think that Christians are the only polite people around? Maybe it's because you are condescending of everyone else and their opinions. You live in a sheltered little bubble, and unless you break free from it, you will be setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment and hurt. You really need to open your mind and educate yourself beyond your own beliefs. It will prove to be very beneficial in your life. But, hey, it;s your choice.

No. Just because the leaders of the communist countries are atheist it doesn't mean that the people they rule are.

Communism and Atheism are not linked, why would you think this would be true. Give us a reason for these assumptions so we can understand your train of thought.
Your assumptions about China are way off, most Chinese are Buddhist.

not all communists are atheists, you are wrong. This is the second night in a row I have seen you harping on this, get over it. There is no association between communism an atheist.

I don't think you can single out a group as being atheist. Faith is on an individual basis.
