Making an argument from jurisprudence to either a judge or a jury is person relative
It makes sense, but I don't think all points of view are equally probable. You wouldn't want creationism to be taught in biology. As for a court of law, you wouldn't want the outcome to be a coin flip.
Yes it is but to open it up introduces complications and ambiguities. I cannot speak for God to distinguish what all examples of faith is actually connected to grace in Jesus but my understanding is that a pleasant feeling in the afternoon is shy of what is being spoken of as saving faith.
Well it could be a step in the right direction. ... Yes but that is only a maybe.
Would you agree atheism is a reasonable position? I guess atheists simply have to wait for god to call them on a ministry?

Doubting thomas, I hadn't thought that Gods call is normally to some ministry. But I suppose that would depend upon what a ministry is suppose to mean. Perhaps there is the ministry of being a good neighbor.
I have sometimes wondered if atheists, well perhaps some atheists, are called to be questioners and critics of bad religion.

I thought to add that I do not think any religious tradition is perfect enough to be above criticism and questioning. Sometimes criticism and questioning can be a healthy contribution toward positive growth clarification and improvement.
