Sad story TS.Sounds like some tough times.
I tend to agree with your points and am 99% on the side of non believer.To me it seems that the more humanity discovers about the universe and life that the more religious concepts and stories are proven to be false.
I do believe that in the Bible there is alot that is true.Not the miracles etc but the people in there.The stories in the New Testament are set in the middle east when it was under Roman rule and many of the protagonists are pretty certain to have existed through other historical non religious texts and archeology.I believe Jesus was a real dude but he was one of many preachers of his time and his disciples were real and had their parts to play in documenting and fabricating their parts of the bible.I don't hate religion,I find it very interesting as a historical reference to certain events and how people thought and how people wrote fiction.I think the bible is a pretty epic set of writings.
Saying all this i never say never as i don't know enough to give a definitive answer.I don't think anyone does or ever will know all the facts of the universe but it gets ever more unlikely that it was created by a supreme being.
