Atheists don't hate religion, they just choose not to participate.
Not all communists are Atheists, just like not all communists are short. The thing about Atheism is, nothing can be done in "its" name. Atheism is the absence of belief in any deity or mythology. Should a tall person kill someone, he doesn't do so in the name of all tall people. He's simply killing someone due to a personal motive.
North American Religious peoples enjoy pointing the finger siting communism simply to vindicate themselves. The sad truth is, people kill for all sorts of reasons. The hypocrisy of religious fanatics killing people is typically what questions like yours are trying to Dodge.
"This question cannot be answered in a more complete way. It has no common context. It would be like asking, are janitors atheists, or are grocery clerks atheists? Or, even, what does blue taste like? There is no commonality for either concept beyond their mutual existence in the world.
Communism is an economic (and political) perspective. Atheism deals directly with theology or "atheology" as the case may be. While Leninistic/Stalinistic/Maoist communism typically precludes religious organizations from legal existence, it is more for political purposes than theological ones. Churches have power over the people. The two major communistic governments of the world sought to remove power from all but the state. Hence the erradication of religious groups. Keep in mind however that the Greek Orthodox church continued to exist in some form during the entire reign of Soviet Communism, and although it was repressed so does Buddhism in China. "
If you should ask a religious person this question, they will most likely cite a couple of bad people that committed genocide as their smug answer. But, according to the christian faith, their god wiped humanity off the face of the earth to start over. So, add that to the Spanish Inquisition, Crusades, Bosnia, Somalia and any other "My God Hates the same people I do so I can kill 'em" instance.Ultimately, we can all agree that bad things have been done under the guise of religion. We can also agree that people following no religion have also done bad things.Questions like this will have no true answer.Be well and have faith in yourself.

Now, let's get it clear that there are some atheists who like religion, some atheists who don't care about religion, and some atheists who dislike religion. Most atheists don't care about religion and are 'live and let live' kind of people. Personally, I think some religion is good, and some is bad. I find it that many religious people get upset when religion is on the table and being criticized. I think it is because their faith is not very strong. Religion has a lot to be criticized for, especially the big ones, be it doctrine, indoctrination of children, the fact that it MUST be believed or else, morals of religion and how it contradicts normal morals. Blood sacrifices, arguing over it, and just plain old weird stories, etc. Atheists who are angry at religion most often come from religious households, and since religion does not want to be questioned most of the time, these types of atheists generally feel that religion has a stronghold on our culture and an oppressive feel to it. The spokespeople for religion are often the worse because of the radicalness of the books themselves. Some of these people have mental problems, and some are normal, but just radical, and transfer their radical viewpoints to their congregations. The facts are: THE LOUDEST AMONG THEM WILL GET THE MOST ATTENTION. Atheists dislike all the bad things that come from religion, and since religious people don't like criticizing their own religions publically, you will find more atheists doing so.
