I just sort of read past that bit in the OP.

I believe in plenty. 

But the things I believe, are supported with evidence and reasoned argument. 

if someone is able to show me that I have a belief that is not supported by evidence, you know what I will do? Stop believing it.

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.
