There are no other choices.
If one accepts the premise that at least one god exists to be true, they are a theist,
If they do not accept that premise, they are an atheist.
So, the question is, do you currently accept the premise that a god exists to be true?
Atheist isn't a label. It is a description of a person's position on one and only one claim.
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.
