One can argue that USSR had state religion of Marxism-Leninism, quite strictly enforced.

It was complete with prophets like Stalin, saints and martyrs like that boy that denounced his parents (I forgot his name), or stachan-workers, mythology, holidays, rituals, etc.

Not that I think religion is the source of all evil. It's just the source of power, and power correlates with evil.
