It's irrelevant to me, and not part of my reasoning on my path.
The truth is, your epistemology is crap.
You have demonstrated time after time, your logical arguments are flawed. And your holy book is filled with absurdities, bad advice, no evidence for any of the supernatural or god claims, horrible moral edicts, etc. Hardly the example of texts inspired by a god.

That is a person may be justified to say well I don't know any proof for God so I don't believe in her/it/him.
Yes, some people are atheists for bad reasons. So what?
All that matters is, that there are good reasons for not believing in gods. Lack of evidence, flawed 'logical' arguments, appeals to ancient texts ('holy' books), appeals to feelings, provided by theists are perfectly good reasons for being unconvinced that gods exist.
Quote:A person on the other hand, maybe blamable if they aren't sincerely reflecting over the proofs offered for God especially in his holy books.
What do you mean be being "blamable"? Why should someone be blamed for the purposable hiddenness of your god?
Your god has the power to clear this entire thing, right? He could convince everyone of us, right? Why did he pick one of the most unreliable methods; texts written by fallible humans?
I spent decades as a believer. It was my sincere search (you may call them "reflections") of the so called 'proofs' for the existence of a god (all logically flawed, including yours), and reading most holy books, including the, Bible, the Qur'an, the Vedas, and most of the Avesta, that lead me to my atheism.
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.
