Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you are calling 'religious' seems to be the awe and wonder you feel when you ponder existence, the universe, the unlikelihood of life, etc.
Not sure why you want to use such a loaded word to describe those feelings when we already have perfectly good words for them that won't conjure up all the baggage that goes along with the word 'religious'.

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.
