Just curious, what caused you to come to your lack of belief in gods?
Was it a 'felling'?
Or was it the correct application of critical thinking and skepticism toward the god 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.
