I was making conditional statements (indicated by the "if"), and as such not assuming Christianity was true, but for the sake of argument making no judgment either way, and so not committing myself to any burden of proof for theism. If I did not do this, people would accuse me (and rightly so) of arguing in a circle. If you require me to prove the existence of God in order to say, "If God exists, then Y," I think you are making a mistake.
