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

People who don't believe in God(s) are open-minded, it's just that there is no evidence for God. For instance, here Richard Dawkins explains how as a scientist he is agnostic when it comes to God, just like he is agnostic when it comes to pink unicorns, teapots around Venus, flat Earth - he is always opened to evidence for them, it's just that there is no evidence.

Indeed, it seems that religious people are those who are close-minded because they are not opened to a possibility that there is no God.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
