As others have pointed out your criteria for choosing what to believe strikes me as odd. I've never considered belief to be something that is up to me. There are truths which I wish were otherwise, like the outcome of the last presidential election in the US. But wishes aren't facts about the world, just about my preferences. Even if I wanted to believe Trump was not the president, I have no idea how I'd set about believing that was true. What I believe to be true is something that rightly intrudes on my beliefs. The same goes for gods. I could imagine a world in which there was a hierarchy of gods and what that life would be like but I couldn't bring myself to believe it was true. Try as might I have no idea how anyone decides to turn a wish into a belief. I really don't.
