Of course they are worse, they are harming the well being of other conscious beings.
So, then a person who rapes you, is no worse than a person that doesn't rape you? How about a person who would save you from being raped? Better or worse than a person who would rape you?
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.
