Socialist governments can come to power in many ways, including democracy or by an overthrow of a government. It is not linked to a particular way of transferring power.
Socialism is an economic system, and is not tied to any religion. A follower of any religion could favor socialism or oppose it.
It was from Socialism that Communism was born.
