You are simply incorrect.
There is not a single logical argument for the existence of a god that is without at least one fallacy.
The Cosmological Argument, Teleological Argument, Ontological Argument, TAG, have all been shown to be flawed, either in asserting the truth of premises, or validity of the arguments themselves.
Coupled with the lack of evidence, which you say should not even exist, and the only conclusion a critical thinker could come to is that there is no justification to believe.
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.
