Oh please.
Yeah, because atheists really believe, deep down. Even those that never believed. Even those that used to be Hindu or other religion.
Let me ask you a question. Do you really believe it is any more difficult for atheists to disbelieve in the Christian god than any other god? Do you really believe that we're constantly fighting off the belief in the Christian god? Like, we're constantly holding it at bay?
If so, get over it.
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.
