Remember, the majority of atheists used to be theists.
We didn't get more intelligent when we became atheists. We just got more information.
And most importantly, we corrected ourselves when we were proven wrong. We didn't hang on to our beliefs after they were proven wrong.
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.
