Doesn't make it moral.
Forcing others to accept your religion or face death, always was and always will be immoral.
If your religion could not survive without the use of force, then it was not offering anything. Least of all, truth.
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.
