No, and even if you take it as true that communism and religious belief are diametrically opposite (which others here have pointed out is not necessarily true), it's still possible for that unresolved contradiction to exist within a person's ideology. To treat them as mutually exclusive is itself anti-dialectical. There have even been religious deviations of Marxism.
I recommend Lenin's "The Attitude of the Workers’ Party to Religion" if anybody is conflicted over this. Some excerpts:
In short, there's a time and a place to struggle against religion.
