Yes one can assume a "god" exists, but from that point on, what attributes that being has is entirely subject to ones own imagination, now in the third step looking for a religion and sect matching this preconceived notion is nothing but "confirmation bias". How can one accept a biased view as proof?
You have to agree with this much.
The Creator would know how to proves things beyond subjectivity and make a case for his will, his light, his proofs, his design, his plan.
You can accuse every human of not being able to make the case, but, you cannot accuse the Creator of that.
Again, which makes sense, instead of waiting to believers to come prove the right religion, you search yourself. And you play the odds, you eliminate highly irrational ones and keep an open mind on one's that are possibly true. You don't just let majority claim a religion by the fact they happen to testify to a sect more then others who believe in that religion, but you see the arguments for each sect, and perhaps in that, you will find true chosen teachers that God has chosen and who compliment the revelation, that you begin to understand revelation and see the truth.
I'm not saying you even to give this a high probability of being true. All I'm saying is consider a more serious approach to letting God prove his case and the case for his true religion if there is one.
Tried that in my younger years. Nothing happened. But, somehow, I think you'll come up with some crap that says it proves your point.
