::::: I'm not claiming that Marxism and atheism are exactly synonymous, but to imply that they are unrelated is incorrect. From ''The Battle for Truth'' again (p.29) (his italics):
{{QuoteBox|"We communists are atheists," declared Chou En-lai at the Bandung Conference in April, 1955. This Chinese communist leader captured the fundamental theological ingredient of Marxism/Leninism in one word: ''atheism''. Today, Marxist/Leninists prefer two words: ''scientific atheism''.<br/>From the university days of Karl Marx to the present, official spokesmen for Marxism have been consistent about the content of their theology—God, a Supreme Being, a Creator, a Ruler, does not, can not, and must not exist}}
::::: Please explain the point of the question in your final sentence before I answer it.
