Can you provide the link for that statement?
The video is in post #49 on this thread.
Although nicanica123 is kind of misinterpreting what Matt is actually saying.
Matt does not say that it is a common factor in deconversion. Only that it is a possible reason, and should not be unappreciated.
Go to about the 3:30 minute mark in the vid, and watch for a couple of minutes.
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.
