Individual atheists may make assertions. But there is nothing in atheism itself that requires assertions.
Atheism is nothing more than not being convinced by the case that theist have presented to support the existence of their gods.
No assertions necessary.
There may be individual atheists that go a step further, and assert that gods do not exist. Then it is up to them to support their case.
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.
