I do not make the claim that gods don't exist because I don't think absolute certainty is possible.
Our brains evolved on the plains of Africa with avoiding death from lions as priority one, and as a mechanism for sexual selection.
Our brains did not evolve to understand the universe. If they were, quantum mechanics would be common sense.
That being said, to make a claim of certainty about the nonexistence of something that could qualify to be a god, I believe may be permanently beyond our capability to understand.

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.
