I am not miserable at all.
in fact, my life became so much happier once I dropped the unfounded belief that some of my friends, relatives and the vast majority of humanity were going to be tortured for eternity for finite thought crimes.
Eliminating my false beliefs was the best thing I ever did.
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.
