I see you are a Tosin Abasi fan. Cool.
I am an agnostic atheist.
I do not claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god does not exist. Thus, I am agnostic.
I disbelieve that a god exists. Thus, I am an atheist.
My atheism is an outgrowth of my skepticism. When I apply the same level of critical thinking and scrutiny to the god claim as to other supernatural claims, there is no justification to believe 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.
