I never understood this particular position.

Seems to me you have to stretch, massage, and distort the meaning of 'god' and 'deity' so much to fit defining the universe as 'god', that all meaning is lost.

Why call the universe 'god' when we already have a perfectly good word for the universe.

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.
