I googled religion. You guys seem to fit.
There is no definition of 'religion' that applies to atheism.
The only single thing that all atheists can be said to specifically have in common with each other is our disbelief in the existence of gods.
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.
