"True atheism"? Atheism = lack of belief in god
Sure, Stalin was a "true atheist" but that doesn't mean he killed because he was an atheist. There is not atheist doctrine that says you should kill those who have different beliefs (or any atheist doctrine at all, for that matter). Not so with religion.

Prior to his rise to power Stalin had been an ordained minister, so that training of getting people to have "faith" gave him the skills to get others to follow him, much like the god character.
