Socialism is when the workers (or the public through the state) own the means of production (companies). It’s pretty unrelated to banning religion. With that said Communism’s (a type of Socialism) stated goal is classless social system with full social equality of all members of society. Christianity isn’t really compatible with that due to the sexism and xenophobia promoted by it. If you tolerate intolerant views your society becomes intolerant according to the Paradox of Tolerance.
I don’t know about western Europe, but apparently authorities across china have removed crosses from
churches, banned youth under the age of 18 from participating in
religious services, and replaced images of Jesus Christ or the Virgin
Mary with pictures of President Xi Jinping. Source
