I personally believe that Marx rejected the Church because he wanted to achieve complete human liberation. One cannot be fully liberated if one alienates him/herself into God. I agree that in the short term there can be alliances between progressive religious and communist organizations, hell, communists can even utilize religious metaphors (although this normally doesnt work out too well), but finally the goal of communism is to see a withering away of religion. i dont think we should abolish religion, but the conditions that allow religion to thrive like poverty etc.
