It's really easy to find out if you still believe or not.
Belief is the psychological state of accepting a proposition or premise to be true. Ask yourself, "do I still accept the premise that the Christian god exists to be true?"
If you answer, "yes", you are still a believer. If you answer ANYTHING else, even "I don't know", you are not a believer.
Do you fear being wrong about all the other gods? Your fear of one out of 1000's is pretty arbitrary.

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.
