>>401468Former soviet communists are majority orthodox Christian, African communists in former British colonies are almost exclusively protestant/evangelical, Indian communists are largely Hindu but disproportionately Muslim & Christian, while Arab communists are disproportionately Christian. Filipino & Latin American Communists tend to be Catholic as well, with parties usually operating largely Catholic mass orgs.
I'm talking about the base, ie average prole/peasant who is a communist party cadre or mass org supporter, not necessarily leadership except in the case of Africa where it seems the leadership of most communists parties are evangelical preachers & pastors.
Yes, DPRK practices state atheism, most people are at least moderately spiritual though ie belief in spirits, ghosts and superstition is normal particularly in rural areas and while people in China are nominally atheist most are also deeply spiritual, usual believe in the concept of an afterlife, spiritual entities, "good/evil" in a mystical sense, etc, although not in an organized religious way.
