Ahh but you see it is easy enough to argue that Fascism was presented as a religion in and of itself. It could provide moral guidance, a description of how to live your life, a leader and a plethora of other hallmarks of religion.

I thought Hitler was a antheist? I don't recall where he said everyone should be a antheist though. I think as long as you completely agreed with his views on race/Nazi ideology you were fine. Say if you were a Christian/Catholic and you thought Hitler was a nut you would put in a concentration camp for sure but if you agreed with him I think they would leave you alone. All true communists I know were antheists and during the Soviet rule they didn't allow the practice of religion

Not really true, the Russian orthodox church continued under Stalin and after the war was (I believe) give even more freedom. Then again, the Soviet Union was never truly communist.

although I don't think that was the case with Fascism, I believe Fascism is very similar to Democracy, economic wise its the same except Fascism it's government run/controlled
|
Economically facism and democracy are similar EXCEPT under fascism the economy was controlled by the government, I would describe that as a fairly massive difference, though it's also not totally true.

and of course there are no elections with Fascism, other than that their very similar. No surprise we supported the Nazis before the outbreak of World War II, and even hoped they would defeat the communists for us.

Define 'supported,' I don't think the west 'supported' the axis so much as avoided fighting them.
