It's a non belief in deities.
I don't know how it can get any more simple.
I think the people having problems understanding the definition, are unable to see, that if an atheist defines their atheism as something like, "I believe there are not gods", instead of, "I have a non belief in deities", their definition STILL fits under the "non belief in deities" definition.
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.
