Petty much.

If Constantine glommed on to Zoroastrianism instead of Christianity, there would most likely be 2 billion Zoroastrians today, instead of Christians.

I'd still be an atheist.

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.
