Religious Terminology Facing Communist Ideology

It is a matter of common knowledge that the communist ideology was against any form of religious behaviour while communism itself was attempting to become some sort of religion for its followers. The most important difference between religion and ideology, communist ideology, in particular, is that one can choose to follow a certain religion and adopt certain beliefs, but most of the people are manipulated to follow a certain political ideology. Thus language becomes the main manipulating engine for ideologies and people are determined to re-learn speaking and thinking differently even if they continue using their own language. The hypothesis promoted here is that the so called “wooden language” used by the communist ideology was attempting to artificially replace forms of natural/traditional discourse and this was mostly the case of religious terms even if the results were nothing but surrogate of communication.
