The USSR made quite a convincing dent until capitalism came back and propped the church back up. You can’t make Marxism religious you can only accommodate religion as necessary. If ever your glorious revolution should succeed, it’s time to start chipping away at it. Not that you should throw your devout grandma in a gulag, but religion will naturally start to recede even if it takes two hundred years to be meaningful.
That's my point, it wasn't the atheism that did that it was socialism
And socialists did it by tackling the root behind why people need religion, not bludgeoning people over theology that most of them don't actaully believe or even have an education in
