IIRC China is supposedly atheist, and so was the Soviet Union, but things were not particularly rosy there either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_history_in_the_Soviet_Union
Whether religion or not, it’s often a case of despicable hardliners taking charge and making things worse for pretty much everyone but them.
