In a way communism is a form of religion as well. It's all about faith in ideal... Theoretical communism belived in equality of all people and no personal property. It also shares common ground with religion in a sense that both are utopic.
Sure religions can preach about love and tolerance as much as they won't but it'll be to no avail since territorial disputes are ingraved in our genes. Evolutionary we're creatures of war.
Just like communism in it's ideal utopic state promotes ideas of common public property of all things. That's to no avail as well - people in it's core are individual, selfish beings who - first and foremost - want things for themselves (we are herd animals as well, but when it all comes down to it, survival and progress of our individual being is more instinctive to us than survival of the herd).
So like someone else already mentioned - people are selfish, evil beings. That's the ultimate downfall of any ideology - be it religious or social.
