They are also not secular in any reasonable description.
They just replaced gods and religion, with a 'religious' like worship of their leader and State.
When the US and other Western countries help provide North Korea with food and supplies during time of drastic food shortages, the North Korean government spins that as the rest of the world paying homage to Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-un is portrayed to the people of North Korea as being infallible and very godlike.
Don't fool yourself, North Korea is a very religious country.
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.
