Communism was a political and economic system. When stalin and hitler dipping their toes in faith/religion/belief it all went wrong and collapsed-in on itself.
Ancient Rome had government and politics before religion.
The last two thousand years had state religions at some points and the churches have their beliefs on governance, which they do internally and influence the world externally to some degree.
They are separate concepts and communism never reached the level of an effective religion. It's not easy to wash away the distinction between concepts.

Except that they deified many emperors and forced everyone to worship them - which was the main source of conflict with Christians.
Communism opposed religion because they were competing theories of inequality.
