In case you were wondering why so many churches are bowing to the Woke.
Also, I can believe history being that low. I got my degree in History from a state college, and not only did I have many openly Conservative/Libertarian professors, my Dean was a Conservative who mocked the fact that everyone else was a bunch of Lefties when we were preparing for graduation ("They are all a bunch of Commies who probably forgot how to even do the Pledge, so you are going to have to hold their hand and walk them through it.")
In my experience, religious people fall for Bolshevik propaganda really easily because the Bolsheviks frame everything in a "nice" and "virtuous" manner. Take the communist manifesto for example. In it, Marx basically takes all the problems of communism and blames it on capitalism; thereby, making communism sound great. This is a common Bolshevik tactic. Unfortunately, many religious people hear the "nice words" but then have no idea they're actually supporting the very problem in society because they lack real world wisdom.
Bolsheviks were famously anti-religious, following Marx in that ("opium for the masses").
They also never tried to be any "nice", boasting of their Red Terror, which was their own phrase, and the Iron Felix style iron fist of the Proletaryat (in the Dictatorship of the Proletaryat).
Anti established religion does not mean they shun the methods religions use to control followers. Their crusades certainly aren't nice, but they frame it as promoting a greater good which is how they get so many useful idiots to their cause.
The themes like "Stalin, the friend of all children" came only after achieving totalitarian power. Revolutionary struggle themes were all angry and violent.
