Again communism can't be reduced historically to marxism only. And that famous frase is just one part of marxist ideology. Marxist ideology, is anti-ideologies (an evident contradiction), and he includes religion on the group of ideologies (so is law -and its various theories and doctrines, except marxist-, so is politics -and its various theories and doctrines, except marxist-, etc). He says, following Feurbach (who wasn't a communist), that ideologies alienate man.
You've to look at the whole history of socialism. There was and there is something called Christian Socialism, and many communist ideals (if not the very first principle of communism -social and economic equality) was born from religion or religious sociology and politics (if we consider that to be that group of sociological and political doctrines in wich the religious element predominates).
Well the three were pretty similar in how they proceeded, they basically varied because one happened on Germany, one on Italy and one on Spain, very different countries. National Socialism was even less defined as a doctrine than facism was.
