Why would you think that an afterlife has o be granted?
Many Buddhists believe that there is an afterlife, yet don't believe in gods.
Maybe it is just part of the nature of the universe, no gods necessary.
I don't believe it for a second, but not sure why it has to be contingent on a deity.
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.
