Vladimir Lenin was an atheist, he did not believe in God.
He was an Atheist.
Lenin is a follower of Karl Marx, who believed that organized religion was a tool by which the bourgeois upper class kept the lower class proletariat controlled. In Marx's own words religion was the opium of the people. In that sense, both Marx and Lenin saw religion just as an oppressor of the working class as the bourgeoisie itself. Another reason is that they saw religion as imposing upon the lower class a system of belief in that which is not verifiable by logic or the senses. This meant that whoever believes in religion is substituting superstition for reason and allowing others to dictate to the believer what to believe and what not to believe.
Leopold Braun has written: 'Religion in Russia, from Lenin to Khrushchev'
Vladimir Lenin's childhood religion was Russian Orthodox Christianity. However, he became an atheist later in life and actively worked to promote atheism during his time as the leader of the Soviet Union.
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was the real name of the Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin. He adopted Lenin as his last name. Lenin was not a nickname. He was also referred to as Nikolai Lenin by close associates.

Lenin saw religion as the 'opium of the people' and thus in the USSR Religion was not practiced. Some churches and other places of worship were ransacked and burnt down. But, after initial antireligious struggle in 20-30, religion regained some power, especially WWII. Since that time, most churches are functional.
