Delicate seems unable or unwilling to understand what atheism is. Some have been here much longer though and also still don't know what it is.

Funny how it works the other way. People generalize about religion all the time.

It is not up to us to define your beliefs, then argue against them.

It is up to you to define the god you believe in, then provide the evidence.

If the evidence is convincing, I will be compelled (by my skepticism and intellectual honesty) to accept your claim as being tentatively true.

Until (or more accurately, if) that time ever comes, I have no choice but to disbelieve that a god exists.

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.
