Your fourth error is in thinking atheists don't believe in god for the purpose of avoiding god's stricter later.
I agree that the fourth is speculation although I do think it applies to most atheists even if only as a contributing factor. The third has more to do with epistemology. First people must agree that something is before determining what it is. Either there is universally applicable moral standards or not. Consensus morality is no morality at all. But the first two are are not errors, just wishful thinking and rationalization on your part.
