Of course it was liberating! You no longer have to worry that you, relatives, friends or anyone would be destined to eternal torture for finite thought crimes.

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.
