Ok. So I guess the point remains, whether there's a god or not, everything works out the same.
That’s very difficult to say.
I suppose that's the point of making unfalsifiable claims. Or that's why they are used as a matter of convenience.
Not if it’s true.

Actually, yes, if it is true. There remains no benefit articulated for the superstitious and gullible faith. If it's true it still remains superstitious and gullible to believe as you do.
superstitious:
excessively credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings.
Since no reasoning is given for the belief, whether it's actually true or not, it remains superstition ("excessively credulous belief"). And of course it only takes the gullible to believe it, or go along with it. This is all just a matter of definition.

I suppose if you want to lump everyone who has ever believed in God as being gullible you can do that.

What's gullible is everyone who believes that anyone who refuses to get baptized into Smith's religion has to go to a lower kingdom where there is less to do.

No. That's why "excessively credulous" is used in the definition of superstition. Gullible, admittedly, is a bit different.

Somewhere of late I saw an abortion number for 2019 of 818,000 or close to it- interesting if true, more human life taken from the most vulnerable citizens than any other death causing disease.
