While there are similarities between communism and Islamism there is a fundamental difference: Communism never hid under a religious umbrella
I have to disagree with you. Communism is indeed a religion and just look up what is really religion and you will discover that it is indeed a religion and do not forget that there is no God (or the rule of god or gods is not central) in Buddhism but it still is a religion
