1st - Something (anything) can't be based on a
equalitarian principle and at the same time
totalitarian. Those two concepts are absolutely inverse.
2nd - Christianism and Islam have had force conversions in the past but neither enforce this practice in our days.
3rd - Christianism and Islam are based on a
Universalist Principle, meaning that anyone can become part of the "faith", regardless of race, gender, etc; how that relates to communism I cannot see unless you think that some people have some rights while others don't.
Religions have always been a cohesive part of any society, be it celtic belief, roman catholicism, buddhism, etc, any other socio-political approach to the faith (theocracy, for example) is a perversion of the faith itself.
4th - Monotheism is as totalitarian as Polytheism, it does not matter which faith you are talking about but rather to the ethos and practices of the faith, you can't possibly generalise like that, that's as ridiculous as comparing an american religious sect and Catholicism by putting them in the same bag (Christendom).
Edit: just for those who don't know, i'm not Catholic or of any other christian confession nor am I pagan or Wiccan or whatever.
This is my god.
