Their version of communism was as religious as makes no difference. Does it really make a difference that they didn't invoke a supernatural deity? Cause they invoked themselves enough.

Nazism isn't a religion. Name the gulag or death camp sponsored by a religion.

Hitler was most definitely a state god at that point. I'm not even pointing out the neo-pagan cults within Nazism, since Hitler suppressed them, as they threatened his own cult, but Nazism definitely has its own form of spirituality. Nowadays, though, neo-paganism is definitely a driving force in many sects of neo-Nazism.

Don't cheat and say Guyana Jim Jones or the entire Inquisition. I want a name like Auschwitz or like the hellholes Solzhenitsyn wrote about. Don't stretch the meaning.

How is it cheating? Countries all over the world have sponsored religious murder all throughout history. Pretending that it's somehow different than atheist communism is nonsense, especially since, like anti-Semitism in the USSR, it was inspired by religious intolerance from years past.
