"Belief in God is not irrational because theologians say that belief in God doesn't require evidence to be rational. Therefore, it is completely rational."
In what universe is this not circular reasoning?
No, 'basic belief' and 'properly basic belief' are long-standing philosophical concepts that have nothing specific to do with religion. Your above characterization of the argument is way off so your conclusion is nonsense.
You're right, those concepts originally had nothing specifically to do with religion . . . until the concepts were hijacked by Protestant thinkers looking for a conceptual Trojan Horse to park in the fortress of rationally held beliefs.
