Something seems a little off here.
Most people (or perhaps all of them) believe in an afterlife, even if they claim to be an atheist.
I have no beliefs in an afterlife.
All the things that make me, me, are a product of brain function. Once my brain stops functioning, there is nothing left to live in an afterlife.
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.
