Yes, why do people believe in something for which there is insufficient supporting evidence? Interesting question.
It is a question that requires examination and study on why the mind works that way it does.
Did all those people that used to believe that disease, famine, storms, earthquakes were caused by demons, gods, curses, etc make them correct?
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.
