I would say that heart is a muscle, that pumps blood - it can't know anything any more than a kidney can.
I would also say, that almost everyone (excluding crazy people and small children) knows IN THEIR BRAIN, that god does not exist - some just kid themselves and each other, in order to avoid the sad reality, that life is short, death is final, most of us are powerless and insignificant, and most of injustice we encounter will never be accounted for, or corrected and the guilty will go unpunished.
