Here's what we do know:
Every religion of the world works on the same basic premise, eternal reward and/or punishment.
Every religion has a really old book and/or set of ancient writings.
Every god of every religion has human emotions assigned to it.
All the worlds most popular religions incorporate blood sacrifice.
Every religion admonishes it's devotees to fear its god(s).
Every religion claims that they serve the one true god(s).
Sound a lot alike? My thought is this:
If I assume that there is indeed a God that created this universe, there's no fucking way that he's going to have anything to do with any religion thought up by the idiots on this planet. My point: If every religion claims they alone serve the one true god(s), despite the fact that they are all the same, than it seems painful obvious that all religions are fraudulent and there are no limitations on who God is.
Not really addressing the point you made, but the statements you listed as facts are, in fact, not true.
Here's what we do know:
Not every religion works on the concept of eternal reward/punishment, especially the ones with reincarnation.
A lot of well known religions are new and therefore do not have ancient writings.
Not every religion has a god. Buddhism and Jainism come to mind.
Quite a few of the popular religions do not require blood-sacrifice. Again, Buddhism and Jainism.
And finally, given that not every religion has a god, the last two statements wouldn't apply either.
