I personally just kept my mouth shut and gritted my teeth
Tell them there is a time and place for discussions about religion, and family get togethers should not be one of them.
Tell them firmly and politely, "I do not want to discuss this now. I would be more than happy to have this discussion at another time, one on one".
Remember, you don't have to take part in any discussion you don't want to.
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.
