Communism and National Socialism weren't anti-religious in and of themselves. Communism doesn't oppose religion, it was the personal views of the founders of the Soviet Union that did. As for the Nazi party, Hitler himself was a Christian and read the Bible regularly (although apparently reading comprehension wasn't his strong suite). Hitler blamed the Jews for the instability of Germany after the Treaty of Versailles destroyed Germany's economy, and pursued genocide as revenge. It wasn't because of religion, but because of racism and scapegoating.
