I find it interesting that you use the word 'vile' to describe Dawkins, when you are a member of a religion with a holy book with the following doctrine and dogma:
A god that condones slavery.
A god that ordered the Hebrews to slaughter entire towns and keep the virgins for themselves as spoils.
Has a bear kill 42 children for making fun of a bald man.
Needs a blood sacrifice in order to act as a loophole for rules he created, in order to keep his creation out of hell, which he also created.
A god that punishes nonbelievers for eternity, for finite crimes, with perfect foreknowledge that billions of his creation are destined to hell, because of his rules.
That is infinitely more vile than anything Dawkins could possibly do.
One of the most vile universe I can conceive of, is one where Yahweh/Jesus actually exist.
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.
