They will help the poor, share their extras, and respect their neighbor.
When the whole world is Christian, their wont be greed, racism, prejudice or hate. Tolerance and acceptance and love will be the norm. Homlessness will be eradicated, as will unfairness. No one will go to bed hungry as people will willingly share.
If you read the works of Jesus, you will see the truth in this. So Christianity is clearly better than Communism, cause there will be no bloodshed to attain it. People can keep their guns, their homes and their whathave you, but guns will grow dusty and rusted with disuse. Everyone will be working for the glory in of God, so no one will be lazy. Bosses will treat their workers fair as they are all God's children. Paradise will at last be here on Earth as there will be no human suffering.
Why accept faith in Communism when clearly you will do better with Christianity?
Very religious society's are rarely peaceful, but we should note that Christianity and communism have a lot in common, from what we know of Jesus Christ He was a communist.

I think a great many of the value's of most religions are not mutually exclusive of communist ideals though - but what communism is, is basically a realisation that you cant just make utopia by clicking younr fingers, or all making a covenant - the economic system of a society to a huge extent determines how that society runs, and we need to therefore create an economic system that will allow freedom and peace and democracy to flourish everywhere.
