''Religion is the opium of the people'' ==> Karl Marx
I don't want to have an arguement about it. I will express my opinion and go.
A Communist must be atheist. Because a communist must understand the ridiclousness of the religions to be a communist in the beginning. A communist must know that religions are primitive fariy tales that make people kill each other for stupid reasons. A communist must know that governments and countries manipulate people with using religions.
So, this idea of you is nothing but ridiclous.

Even when Marxism is opposed to religion, including Christianity because it represents to it certain "traditional values" and "spiritualism", if you remove all spiritual and metaphysical concepts from Christianity, what you get is a form of Marxism. Being atheistic, Marxism doesn't accept the metaphysics of christianity, but it's nurtured by all its ethics: Marxism is the secularization of Christian theology. Furhtermore, actually both movements have shown sharing a common operation and historical features:
Both have a core of unprovable beliefs.
Both share egalitarianism and universalism, i.e. a doctrine that want a world without borders, races, nations or ethnic groups. This is catholicism (small c) for the church, and internationalism for socialists.
Both hope for a “future kingdom of justice and freedom”, an Utopia of peace and fraternity among all humankind.
Both assign great value to community, to “communal life”, to the “communal sharing of goods”.
Both consider the poor to be victims of injustice. Both first seek to draw attention to the lower strata of society to preach their “message”, and historically, both reached power through the rebellion of the lower classes against the higher classes.
Both had institutions checking that nobody has any actions, thoughts or words against the doctrine (The Inquisition and The KGB) - anyone breaking their rules will go to stake or gulag. While religions were oppressed and arts were severly regulated in soviet world, Christians of fourth century started large-scale religious persecution aimed at eradication of all non-christian religions and destruction of all temples. This was a Christian innovation (except it was inspired by Judaism, of course).
so communism is basically just an atheist version of christianity
