Religion is a human invention and based on beliefs (faith). To believe is to blindly deny the truth in defense of a helpless god(s).
If its by faith (probabilistic) that God(s) exists, or is omnipotential and omniscient, then the scores must be defined. If not, then its not worth frying my brains, energy, and time to believe in God(s).
I resonate with your first sentence, but I find it futile to try making logical statements like "if this then that... QED", because that's sort of beside the point of religion (in my understanding) and you just end up in neverending argument.
Do you agree with my points that I made in the bullet point list in the original post?

I would have given a full rebuttal to some (not all) of your 8 points, but find points 2 & 4 rather interesting.
  1. Characters in the said books are fictitious and no historical records can confirm their absolute existence.
  2. Good priests can't make therapists and psychologists as they're inclined to spirituality, rather than empirical working mechanisms (physical, cchemical, and biological) of our minds and bodies.
