That's right. Religiosity was merely suppressed in those places. China probably has more christians than the US but those who don't go to the state-sponsored churches have to go underground. Anyway, I think most would agree that nowadays terrorism fueled by religious fanaticism is a much bigger problem than communism or atheism. In fact atheism or religion on its own is never a problem, it's what you do with it like you say.
