Why does Communism always stem from Atheism/Secularism?

Communist Russia was Atheist. Stalin was Atheist. 
Communist China was Nontheistic because Budhism is nontheistic. It still primarily is. Mao was Atheist. Xi Jinping is Atheist. (The Chinese 'Ruler for Life')
Kim Jong Il? Was Atheist. His son, Kim Jong Un, is Atheist. His people are starving in a police state.

And now, the heavily secular radical leftists want Communism.

What gives? Is there a link between Secularism and Communism?

Because every totalitarian regime in Asia and the West was built on the Marxist concept of Social Darwinism. It's a part of the human makeup to look to god, someone or to an ideology. It's what makes things make sense. It gives an order to the world that is psychologically neccessary. They reject god, so they create there own pseudo religion, and Communism is it.

In this case, the system is a pseudo god that tells you what to think and in theory "takes care of you"(yet it never does in real life). Their actual preference is a human "god", like Barack Obama. "He is the second coming". "He will light the way". Is it not strange that they mocked God, but used religious terminology with Obama? That's what they are always doing. They are looking for "the one".

Theyre not atheistic because theyre vehement about there not being a god. They do away with religion because they dont want any power structure competing against them for control of the people. Its a political power move. Not because atheism is evil and drives people to whipe out religion. Thats on these people specifically.

Governmentally enforced communism/socialism cannot be rooted in any religion or philosophy that asserts that theft, enslavement, or covetousness are sins.

That means that almost all religions are incompatible with communism and socialism, which makes atheism/secularism the necessary default.

This is because communism/socialism are based on people who covet what others have taking over a nation, stealing the possessions of everyone, and enslaving everyone to work for a government that insists it is sharing everything fairly.

There are two great evils in the world;- Communism and religion.

As most of mankind need a God to cling onto it will always be religion which will contaminate the reasoning of the feeble minded the most.

Really? There are a lot of Communists, and killing people seems to be their favorite sport. Its western followers believe there are 71 genders and that terrorists deserve more rights than soldiers who protect you.
