Here's just a small sampling.
I am not saying I like all these, but it is certain that a great many people, theist and atheist alike, feel that these people have created moving music.
David Gilmour - guitarist, Pink Floyd. Some people consider him the most emotive guitarist alive.
Brian Eno - electronic musician, sound artist. Considered the father of ambient music.
Björk
Leoš Janáček
Geddy Lee - bassist with Rush
György Ligeti - one of my favorite composers
Peter Maxwell Davies - another favorite composer
Maurice Ravel
Rimsky-Korsakov
Andy Partridge - singer songwriter with XTC
Robert Smith - singer songwriter with The Cure
Eddy Veder - lead vocalist and lyricist with Pearl Jam
Edgard Varèse - composer
Steve Wilson - guitarist lyricist with the great prog band, Porcupine Tree, and solo material. You want moving music? Listen to the album, "The Raven That Refused to Sing".

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.
