For people out of the Anders Breivik school of thinking:
Marxists are principally atheists. Not Muslims!
The old quote from Karl Marx about "Religion is the opium of the people" holds true for Islam as much for Christianity.
Atheism denies all religious belief, not just Christianity (which is noticeably embraced in some form or another - Hitler was incidentally a Roman Catholic - by many Euro-Fascists and neo-Fascists).
Social Democrats are also not Marxists, wharrever the likes of Breivik (and Nick Griffin and the NPD usw) would have you believe.
As for myself, I am a pragmatist atheist - or politically wharrever works! Marxism doesn't, Fascism certainly doesn't, Islam (as a political force) doesn't, Social Democracy rarely does, Conservatism rarely does (and the US Republican Party version of Conservatism and Thatcherism its UK spinoff certainly do not!) .... Which is probably why the German Pirate Party (who seem to have no workable policies of any significance and simply stand for protest) attract a following, which I would not encourage!
