I'm not sure I would call your disbelief in the existence of gods 'faith'. Unless you took the position, that no matter how much evidence you were presented with, you would still continue your disbelief.
Of course, the lack of demonstrable evidence is a rational reason to disbelieve. Especially when one would expect to find evidence.
As far as having 'no evidence that gods do not exist', you are unnecessarily taking on the burden of proof.

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.
