Some are, some are not. This question cannot be answered in a more complete way. It has no common context. It would be like asking, are janitors atheists, or are grocery clerks atheists? Or, even, what does blue taste like? There is no commonality for either concept beyond their mutual existence in the world.

Communism is an economic (and political) perspective. Atheism deals directly with theology or "atheology" as the case may be. While Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist communism typically precludes religious organizations from legal existence, it is more for political purposes than theological ones. Churches have power over the people. The two major communistic governments of the world sought to remove power from all but the state. Hence the eradication of religious groups. Keep in mind however that the Greek Orthodox church continued to exist in some form during the entire reign of Soviet Communism, the Roman Catholic church enjoyed a certain degree of freedom during Czechoslovakia's communist era (now two separate countries Czech Republic and Slovakia, with parliamentary democracies, Roman Catholics make up the largest religious group in both countries), and although it was repressed so does Buddhism in China.

Communists do not have a unified belief regarding religion. Some communists adhere to Atheism or secularism, while others may be religious or spiritual. The emphasis in communism is usually on economic and social equality, rather than religious beliefs.

Some do and some do not. While many communist regimes have promoted atheism, communism itself is not related to any religion or lack thereof.

Could it be that atheism is being used by communists to influence America?

No, there is no evidence of this. While these sorts of assertions were very popular during the McCarthy era in the early 1950s (and led to the phrase "under God" being added to the pledge of allegiance, to demonstrate that Americans believed in God and were not like Communists, who were atheists), America has always been a religiously identified country, with large percentages of Americans (some polls show as many as 75-80%) saying they believe in God, and believe in their religion. There have also always been a percentage (currently about 14%) who do not believe in any religion, but these people are not Communists; they are free-thinkers, Humanists, and followers of other secular-based philosophies. There is no reason to believe that Communists, who make up a very small minority in North America, will ever have enough influence to change anyone's mind, nor is there evidence that Communists from other countries would be able to influence the religiosity of so many Americans.
