Here's an interesting question. Can communists and ultranationalists work together to overthrow the system or defend a certain order of things? I've been studying the '93 constitutional crisis in Russia, in which Yeltsin was opposed by Soviet-era nomenklatura as well as communist and nationalist groups.
I mean, communism is at least, theoretically, supposed to transcend nations. So, while I’m sure it might work out of necessity, it’s not exactly a main feature in the system.

Well, congratulations on missing the point of banning religion.
I don't see how your plans on banning religion are gonna find any effect whatsoever if they basically boil down to, "religion's canceled but you can still be religious lol".
Okay, let’s give an example. We shall say Bob is a Christian. He has kids. Those kids will be educated in state schools. Bob may attempt to pass down his religion to his children. But if he is discovered doing so, well, that’s a different story.
See, here’s the key difference. Religion has had as one of its core claims being exempt from the material world, and not having any evidence by design. Diseases don’t work that way. You’re comparing apples and chocolate.
Except that most religions don't see their objects of worship as actually separate from the material world, beyond being divine things.
…Most religions don’t see their Gods as physical beings.
