To some extent soviet communism was a cult/religion as much as any other.
It told people what to think and what to believe in.

They may specifically not have allowed religion in order to avoid
competition from other established religions.  Claiming it isn't one
doesn't mean it isn't one.  Claiming it is one doesn't mean it is either.
