It is true that agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive positions, but I do disagree with your following statement:
I have a good theist friend that is an agnostic theist. In other words, he believes a god exists, but he does not claim to know that a god exists.
If you want to read a whole pile of arrogant agnostic BS loaded with one straw man fallacy after another, here you go.

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.
