None of those describe me.
There is no universal 'atheist' text, no doctrine, no dogma, I have to follow in order to be an atheist.
All I have to do is to reject the clam made by theists that a god or gods exist.
Your the one with the doctrine and dogma supposedly dictated by the creator of the universe with rules to follow that tell followers to kill homosexuals, women that are not virgins on their wedding night, and overall treat women as less than second class people.
The fact that you may not have any of the prejudices contained in the Bible is good. It's a great thing that your religion has been dragged kicking and screaming into modernity.

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.
