So I guess Communism is miraculous also, because of how it spread like wildfire, even taking over whole countries despite being oppressed by those same countries, and also had God's favor. 

To be honest I know very little about the communist revolutions that have taken place, so I'll briefly share my thoughts on that and concede that I might be wrong.

I see communism as similar to any other political revolution in which the government has become so corrupt and oppressive that the people have almost no choice but to advance a new or alternative political ideology for the sake of mere survival.  Things like this have happened in politics all throughout history and continue to happen today.  In the realm of personal belief systems being born in the face of persecution, however, Christianity is still unique. 

Well, it was pretty damn bad, but considering how bad Russia was a lot of the time under the czars, I don't know if your hypothesis really flies. 

And no, Christianity is not not NOT the only belief system born under persecution, or even to flourish.
