There is no versus. You can be both and I would say most are.
Supernatural is the same as being outside of natural existence.
And we tend to call that. Non-existence.
If supernatural are the set of things that don't exist, then we don't have any reason to worry about them.
Exactly.
Being an atheist does not preclude someone of having other, non god related, supernatural beliefs.
Some sects of Buddhism do not have God beliefs (thus are atheistic), but scores if other supernatural beliefs.
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.
