Becoming an atheist is not a choice. It is simply not being convinced that gods exist.
Atheism is usually a byproduct of critical thinking and skepticism, when correctly applied to the god claim.
I did not have to replace my god beliefs with anything else. Critical thinking is just fine.
I don't have beliefs in UFO abductions or bigfoot. What do I need to fill the vacuum by not having those beliefs?
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.
