And yet more dishonesty.
Stalin did not perpetrate his mass murdering in the name of atheism.
It was in the name of totalitarian Communism.
His motivation was based on bad dogma, not disbelief in gods.
His regime replaced the bad dogma of an infallible god, with the bad dogma of an infallible State.
There is no possible line to be drawn from atheism, to mass a murderous regime. There is a line from totalitarianism to mass murdering regimes, however.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
