This is only true if there exists no distinction between true believers or not. A child may believe in the tooth fairy, yet this is a superficial, short lived conviction.

Maybe faith is a more suitable term.
That doesn't even make sense. We've already established the distinction between believers and nonbelievers: belief! You are needlessly obscuring the distinction.

What purely relativistic arguments am I using?

You have already stated that the truth is whatever they think it is. Such as the example you gave with other religions. There is only one absolute truth but you deny that as purely subjective.

Also Humanism will not save the human race. No human ideologies and philosophies will help the human race.

Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

COLOSSIANS 2:8 NLT

21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen
Romans 1:21 NLT

I hardly think I am obscuring the meaning. Words can be ambiguous, especially in relevance to important functions. Just as words lack in a profound moment, certain concepts can't be expressed fully without experience.

All I'm trying to get across here is: don't give up searching, because God is always waiting.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

This thread has passed the point of diminishing returns. Individuals have free will, and there will always be those who will not see. Let's respect OP's autonomy. He doesn't owe it to us to come to enlightenment, and we can't force it. If he does come around, it will be at a time of his choosing,
