No, there is no evidence of this. While these sorts of assertions were very popular during the McCarthy era in the early 1950s (and led to the phrase "under God" being added to the pledge of allegiance, to demonstrate that Americans believed in God and were not like Communists, who were atheists), America has always been a religiously identified country, with large percentages of Americans (some polls show as many as 75-80%) saying they believe in God, and believe in their religion.

There have also always been a percentage (currently about 14%) who do not believe in any religion, but these people are not Communists; they are free-thinkers, Humanists, and followers of other secular-based philosophies. There is no reason to believe that Communists, who make up a very small minority in North America, will ever have enough influence to change anyone's mind, nor is there evidence that Communists from other countries would be able to influence the religiosity of so many Americans.

Why is atheism needed by communists to propagate their ideology?

A:It is not so much that atheism was needed, as that the communists thought Christianity might form an organised base from which to attack the power of the Communist Party. However, during the war Stalin realised that the Church could actually be of positive help to the state in mobilising public support for the defence of the soviet Union. After the war, iIt soon became clear that Christian churches would continue to be of help in furthering the Soviet state's post-war political agenda. Thus, communism's support for atheism was pragmatic at most, just as was its support in other times for the Christian Church.

Is atheism connected to ethnic cleansing?

Atheism is the lack of belief in deities and is not connected to ethnic cleansing at all. Ethnic cleansing could be believed to be something a deity calls for so, in that manner, theism (belief in deities) is more connected to ethnic cleansing than atheism. It's possible for atheists to engage in ethnic cleansing but they do it for reasons other than atheism.
