Does the OP want our reasons for not believing Christianity, specifically? Or in a god or gods, more generally?
My reasons for not believing in a god or gods in general, are that no theist has ever presented a case that I find convincing. My criteria for believing in existential claims are: demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument, and valid and sound logic.
As soon as a god claim can pass the above criteria, I will believe.

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.
