You should ask them.
As I stated earlier, there are sects of Buddhism with beliefs in an afterlife, souls, spirits, etc. Yet they have zero beliefs in gods.
Many cultures around the world to this day, believe in animism (supernatural beliefs),, but have no god beliefs.
I am kind of stunned that someone could NOT imagine supernatural beliefs that aren't connected to god beliefs.
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.
