Well, I think you are missing the point that Dustin Is making in this song. I agree with you that a form of communism is quite Biblical and if you look at Acts 4:32-35 you see get a clear picture of what that looks like.
But Dustin is commenting on Lennon's brand of communism. The one that Lennon talks about is one that is not only free of personal possessions, but free from emotion and passion as well. Dustin makes the point that without these things, life is worthless and meaningless. And the absence of a god (the christian God or otherwise) takes away this passion and thus takes away the meaning to one's life.
Also, Dustin notes that with a lack of moral guidelines ("no right or wrong") it is no longer communism, but anarchy, where everyone takes what they want, when they want it. He points out the inconsistencies of Lennon's plan, where it falls short, what it lacks, why it won't work. He does nothing that comes into direct conflict with his religion.
The form of communism that is talked about in Acts is way different from Lennon's brand. In Acts it talks about everyone coming together in one mind and one heart, sharing everything with the knowledge that it doesn't belong to them in the first place, but rather to God. You see that both Lennon's and the Bible's forms forms deny personal possesions, but Lennon preaches this message for a completely different reason.
