Because people that believe in dragons, aliens, and elfs don't: blow themselves up in public places, try to get pseudoscience taught in public schools, behead people, try to pass lows based on Scriptural 'morality', start wars, fly planes into buildings at 400 mph, etc, etc in the name of their dragon, alien and elf beliefs.
Those are things believers in gods do.
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.
