No, that's b*ll*cks. And if you are not a fully fledged theist in disguise then I'm Carmen Miranda!

Any way Stalin attacked the power of the church because it was a rival to his power.
He wanted to rule by dictat and had seen how in the past the church had curtailed the rule of the czars.
This was helped by the Czars being into superstitions like christianity. Stalin was free to act as he did because he shared no such delusion.
But Stalins acts had precedant in russia, it was not really different from the czars pogroms against the jews except in scale and the religion it targeted.
