A main tenet of communism is that religion is necessarily false and is unjustly used to control the masses.
In all communist states, religion is strongly discouraged (i.e., penalized). Nevertheless, a certain degree of religion is tolerated to accommodate committed believers who might find death preferable to life without God.

In China, a variety of religions is allowed, including Islam and Catholicism.

Governments like power and do not like to share it. Freedom of religion requires continual defense. Freedom of religion, as well as all other freedoms in the US, is under challenge, and is being chipped away, bit by bit.

Secularism is the principle of separation between religion and the state, ensuring that religious beliefs do not influence government policies.

While secularism focuses on the relationship between religion and the state, communism primarily addresses economic and social structures.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Vatican City, and Iran have laws or policies that officially recognize only one religion. These countries often have a state religion that is mandated by law, and restrictions may be placed on individuals practicing other religions openly.
