I rather like point # 4 since it seemed so familiar:

“(4) take out the promises and rewards religions make, especially the afterlife, and see how many people stay faithful for the glory of God alone.”

This was said of Job too,

“Then Satan the LORD, and Doth Job God for nought?
Hast not thou made an about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast the work of his hands, and his substance is in the land.
But put thine hand now, and all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.” (Job 1:10,11)

My paste didn’t stick, read:

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased1 in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. (Job 1:9,10,11)
