Being an atheist is not that important to me, but being a skeptic and a critical thinker are.

Atheism is just the result of correctly applied skepticism and critical thinking with regards to the god claim.

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.
