There is nothing about atheism that precludes in being open to possibilities.
Atheism is just not being convinced that gods exist.
I am completely open to being convinced that a god exists.
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.
