Many Americans believed that communists were behind various social and political movements, as well as efforts to undermine capitalist systems and spread socialist ideology. This fear and suspicion led to the Red Scare in the United States during the mid-20th century.

Why do African Americans hate themselves because of slavery?

It is not accurate to say that African Americans hate themselves because of slavery. However, the history of slavery and its legacy of racial discrimination and inequality have had a profound impact on the African American community's sense of identity and self-worth. There can be feelings of anger, frustration, and a struggle with self-acceptance as a result of this historical trauma.

It helps recognize and celebrate diversity within the American population. However, individuals have the choice of how they prefer to be identified, and some may simply choose to refer to themselves as "American" without the hyphenated term.

Could it be that atheism is being used by communists to influence America?

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.
