This goes more to my skepticism in general, but applies here because it is how I got to my atheism.

The knowledge that I came to my atheism using the most consistently reliable method known. That my atheism is based on the correct use of rationality and evidence, when applied to the god claim.

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.
