An argument can be made, that we are in our natural state.

Everything we have accomplished, good and bad, is a result of our naturally evolved brains.

We are doing what is natural, for us.

Just because we create artificial things, does not mean it is not our nature to do so.

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.
