How can it really be 'heaven' if you know that the vast majority of humanity is being tortured for eternity in hell?
Seriously. As a thinking, feeling, empathetic person, I could never be happy knowing that billions of my fellow human beings are being tortured for eternity for the thought crime of believing in the wrong god, or not believing in any gods. Any god that would set up an immoral system like that, does not deserve praise or worship.
What a great thing such a god does not actually exist.

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.
