Fascist Italy supported the Catholic Church and made it their state religion. Same thing for francoist Spain.

A better example would be the chinese cultural revolution and their campaign against the Four Olds.

but the leader of fascist Italy was an atheist, which suggests the endorsement of the Catholic Church was not entirely sincere. Its possible that Mussolini was not entirely honest in his public behaviour.
