They changed the premise, but nothing else actually changes. Communism itself is religion. It is Abrahamic religion reskinned to worship a man and not a divine being.
It's basically the same sort of "I push something so insane and evil that no sane person will like it and paint it like a good thing, this thing is now reality and if you do not bow down to this very ideology and its divine figurehead, you will die, you will be tortured and your soul will be tortured beyond death."
And then people will all bow down not to receive salvation but under the fear of total death.
Using that logic, then every ideology is a religion.
Even your current one, whatever it is.
Sorry, remind me how Communism was promoting "soul torture" in your statement?
If I were you, I'd check the difference between ideology and religion. I would also check on Communism too in that regard and how they treated religious people... Frankly, if I were you, I'd just research stuff better than that.

Free thought isn't an ideology or religion.
Literally every religion can say that about itself. You obviously don't understand irony.
But you ignore my question, which is not surprising, since you do that all the time... but still:
Waiting on your reply...
Unless you're a coward and can't defend your own statement.
