Seems to be for people that want to try to force atheism into the 'religion' category in their minds, so they can wave it off as another silly belief.
This attitude seems to be prevalent among 'holier than thou' agnostics, and theists that claim not to belong to any religion.
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.
