Neither of these dictatorship governments even care about God. They both use religon for oppression and control

But, that's what religion is for.

If you think all religons don't hold people equal and accountable in front of God, and don't mandate people to oppose injustice, and just follow orders of governments, then you can join the religons which these governments promote.
In these countries, much like all dictatorships in the world, their religon is to glorify their leaders and governments. It's a shitty version of religon basically state religon is to control people, take their money, and stay in power. These governments created a whole new sector in Islam of clerks who worship the government and king, and they pay each of the state clerks or priests hundernds of millions of dollars to promote and preach nothing but propagonda and praises for the government. Just like how the catholic church controlled rome in the 18th century. This is the only type of religon these governments love.

I prefer to just not join a religion.

Ultimately, money and staying in power are more important than some stupid religious disagreement, and the leaders know that. They won't say so openly because they can't anger the rubes but that's the truth.
