Communist thinkers from Marx to Lenin to Trotsky to Stalin advocated an abandonment of a religion they felt to be superstitious and unproductive. Thus mid-century Americans referred to “godless communism.” 2. Throughout the post-war years of the Second Red Scare, “godless communism,” along with similar variations, rooted itself as a functional epithet and cautionary tale to a reluctant America in a changing global environment. As the Communist threat to the American way of life grew, so its godless materialism continued to threaten a Christianity increasingly tied to America’s self-image. The choice between Americanism and Communism was vital, without room for compromise.
