The USSR and PRC say hi

Government is itself a religion for many people. Laws come from a super-human power, like a God. Legalese serves as a modern incomprehensible language like latin did for the catholic church before common vernacular bibles.

But taking that aside:

The greed and power seizing from the USSR didn't stop with religion, all facets of the lives of people were affecting, changing business-owners to usufruct tenets. Even if you don't accept my hypothesis that religion is in many ways a religion, you have to admit religion wasn't singled out in your examples. Both governments seized all aspects of people's lives.
