My thoughts.
I can't relate to your situation.
I do not want to believe anything that is untrue, or most likely untrue.
Also, there are very few gods that I would even want to exist. Especially the Abrahamic god. But even more benign deities would still be benevolent dictators.
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.
