Utopian movements are often religious movements. They are adopted by mass conversions, contain elements of mythopoeisis, and frequently include eschatological tropes.

well that's silly. I laid out the parameters of this problem pretty clearly. It's not very complicated.
You can do anything you want. Convince Richard Dawkins to believe in you.
Simple Answer. You can't because he would be looking for a scientific explanation for anything you did.

If God = Truth, which is a standard Christian belief, then my argument is correct. I challenge you to point out any error of reasoning. Otherwise I'll assume that you're insulting me because you can't stand to have your beliefs challenged.

'Evidence' is not an answer to the question, it's too broad: What evidence do you want? When Christians where asked this question in reverse, many answered with respectful concise answers.
In addition, there IS evidence.

Rationality is the use of reason; reason is logical thinking. The point of rationality is not to question the statement God = Truth, but to examine whether it follows from logical arguments and, if so, what consequences the statement has.

Having read the original post, I'm not sure that "open minded" or "dismissive" mean what you think they mean. Your serious question was answered eight ways to Sunday in your original post, and with a lot more civility than you're demonstrating here. What are you complaining about?

You do realize that you're pretty much making up most of what you said there, as much of it's not even in the Bible, right?
For example:

That's why I dumped the idea of substitutional atonement - which, by the way, is not from the Bible but from Anselm (and was soon after rejected by Abelard, who held up Jesus as an exemplar, not a blood atonement, and who was still considered Christian).
