My atheism is an extension of my skepticism.
For me, atheism is nothing more than the application of rational and critical thinking applied to the claim that a god or gods exist.
I didn't choose to be an atheist, my critical thinking skills have just lead me to that position.

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.
