As for communism - if you like being a machine, go ahead and live that way.:p.
You can be a "machine" in any religion. It only depends on the person whether they want to be a "machine" or not. But if a person doesn't fit into the religious "Procrustean bed," then it is, in any case, a "path of an outcast" for that person. The fate of someone who has "strayed from the pack."
