Vain.
Anyone that believes that the creator of he universe, that has extreme power and knowledge, and has a universe with 200 billion galaxies, each with 100 billions stars and an incomprehensibly huge number of planets to look after, has the time or inclination to communicate with one of billions of hairless hominids living on just one pretty insignificant rock, is the epitome of vainity.
Even more vain, because they believe that they, no matter which version of a god they believe exists, are the ones that have it correct, and the majority of humanity have it wrong. And because they believe this, they are the ones that get sent to to the best place imaginable.

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.
