Belief is just a kind of knowledge.  I'm an atheist and I believe in lots of things:  my children's love and the scientific method, for example.  I just don't believe in god(s).\n\nAs for Communism, that was a unfortunate combination of an academic theorist (Marx) and a totalitarian revolutionary (Lenin) -- which is why it's sometimes referred to as Marxist-Leninism.  Lenin and Stalin's terrible effects on the USSR shouldn't necessarily detract from our understanding of Marx's class analysis of society.  Any doubt about whether class exists as a powerful force in the US should have been thoroughly washed away by Hurricane Katrina.
