RE: [Quranic Reflection]: is being closed minded the cause of disbelief ?

Being closed-minded is when one clings to a point of view for non-rational reasons. It's an equal-opportunity problem, and affects believers of all religions as much as it affects non-believers.
Holding to a point of view for a sensible reason (for example, not believing a religious claim because there's no non-scriptural evidence to back it up) is not being closed-minded. It's the rational withholding of belief when the purported evidence is too weak to stand on its own merits.
