The behavioral causes of religions are well-known. There is no evidence that gods and religions are the products of anything other than human ingenuity and imagination.

There is a self-contradiction here! Why are you saying that religion is a product of humans, and at the same time, you're blaming God for human actions?
You're using it as an argument only when it serves what you want to believe, and that is exactly the definition of bias. But it's ok, you probably didn't intend to.
Show us where I have blamed God for human actions in the above quotes.
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
