Atheism has no dogma, doctrine, leaders, 'holy' texts, and is not even a worldview. Atheism is a single position on a single claim.
Theists claim gods exist, atheists do not believe their claim. That is the only thing that all atheists have in common.
So, there is nothing that can be said about atheism in general, besides that fact that we all unconvinced that gods exist. If you want to find out if specific atheists are accepting of opinions that don't line up with ours, you have to ask that particular atheist.
But since atheists are the minority, accept in: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, we have no choice to accept other beliefs, at least to a certain degree. I can accept theist's right to hold their beliefs. I don't have to accept that their beliefs are: rational, justifiable, demonstrable, or even good for society.
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.
