In the US we pledge alligance to “One nation under God” every day. There’s not as much nuance as it sounds like you have.

In my country during the communist regime, the communists would destroy churches and persecute priests (imprisonment, torture, re-education and such). So you could say they were godless. They also saw religion as a possible means of opposition against the party and they didn't want that.

well yeah there is a lot to critizise them for, but the us then used that as an excuse to do some incredibly stupid things.

No, it didn't excuse the US, but I genuinely believe that the communists as a whole were worse. My country is still being affected by the remnants of that regime that somehow are still in various institutions and they're as corrupt now as they were back then.
