I see what you are saying, but honestly since you mention the fact that there are a whole bootyload of religions in this world, you should also acknowldge that not all religions fit into the framings of your criticisms.
1. Not all religions believe in an infalllible deity.
2. Either god created man or man created god. I agree that both of these can't be true.
3. As other threads have convinced me, you only lack free will if god is infallible. So whether god's omniprescience robs you of your free will depends on how you define your faith.
4. Religion is always changing, but the focus generally remains the same. Most religions agree at least on the fact that there is at the very least one god. I don't think that fact has ever changed. The basic philosophies may change to reflect the ideas of the society but the concept of god is fairly universal.
I understand why your critical though. I try to develop and maintain my own sense of morals and a philosophy independent of any one source. That is all any nonreligious person(i don't mean nonspiritual) can really do.
