Sorry, but belief is a binary mental state.
Either one accepts a premise or proposition as being true, or they don't accept the premise or proposition as being true. There is no middle ground between belief and disbelief.
Theists actively accept the proposition that at least one god exists, as being true (belief).
If one does not accept that proposition as being true (disbelief), they are an atheist, whether they use the label of not.
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.
