Like when DaVinci Code popularised the myth that Jesus was part of the Merovingian dynasty. Or people who believe that Jesus lived in India or even Japan, etc.
The Davinci Code is fiction.
But it is based, to a very large extent, on a book called, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail: The Secret History of Christ & The Shocking Legacy of the Grail", which was nonfiction.
And by nonfiction, I am not implying in the least, that it is accurate.

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.
