Things that can be observed (and tested) to manifest in reality, do not require faith.

There is a difference between methodological naturalism and philosophical naturalism.

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.
