Revolutionary communism wasnt anti-Christian for the sake of atheism. It was for the sake of the all-consuming ideology of revolutionary communism, for the workers paradise basically.
The comparison that makes sense to me is ideology vs ideology. Like Christianity vs revolutionary communism. Or Islam vs Ayn Rand capitalism. The latter in each comparison are atheist, but only in the sense of clearing out the ideological competition.
And why was atheism so important to Marx, Lenin and Stalin, then? I don't think it was simply because Christianity stood in the way of what they thought was economic and political progress ...
