With 3% atheist and not dominating any show accept science, that is already proof in the pudding.
A short list of atheist artists:
Musicians - Bela Bartok, Hector Berlioz, Brian Eno, David Gilmore, Prokofiev, Henry Rollins, Shostakovitch, Eddie Veder, Frank Zappa, Roger Waters, Bjork
Authors - Douglas Adams , Marry Shelly, Andre Breton, Harlan Ellison, Robert Heinlein, Stanislaw Lem, H.P. Lovecraft, Joyce Carrol Oats, Camille Paglia, Robert Lois Stevenson,
Entertainment - Robert Altman, Kevin Bacon, Javier Bardem, George Carlin, George Cloony, Daniel Day-Lewis, Kathryn Hepburn, Stanly Kubrick, Seth McFarland, Ridley Scott, Steven Soderbergh,
I believe the above atheists could be said to have pretty good imaginations. And there are many more I could list.
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.
