What is the end point for religious faith and rationality? If a being genuinely beyond your comprehension tells you a truth about the world that you have to trust, how do you know it isn't deceiving you even if it actually is for all intents and purposes really "God" talking to you?
Just being beyond comprehension isn't in and of itself a reason that that being is God, is it if the ideology presented makes you emotionally comfortable? Is that the criteria? The Christian God could very well "exist" and Christianity could be "true", but how does God know there isn't a hidden reality higher than him and so on and so on?

Look man we’re just trying to get into heaven, I don’t really care about the philosophy and theory behind it.

If an alien abducted you, took you on a trip through space, showed you mindblowing technology, and then told you that pee is stored in the balls, would you believe it just because it has mastered interplanetary travel?

You make sure that the God you worship is the Necessary Existent, the Originator and Creator of all things. If you aren't absolutely sure that what communicates to you is God or not, just respectively say, "I don't know for sure who you are, and I'll refrain from judgement because I fear God would hold me accountable for following something without certainty."
Easy

The only thing i know is that the religious Gods do not exist, they act like regular dictator humans with regular human intelligence rather than eldritch entities like you would expect from God

The thing that I find curious are the secular minded atheistic pseudo intellectuals who don’t need no sky daddy for direction and purpose and then they proceed to indulge in hedonism and wonder why they are upset all the time

Truly a wonder to behold

>Atheists become upset
Its obviously because they are Godless
>Christians become upset
Its um... uhh.. a test!
>God becomes upset
All according to keikaku (Translator note: keikaku means plan)

>indulge in hedonism and wonder why they are upset all the time
Doing things that make you upset all the time is literally the polar opposite of what a hedonist should do according to hedonist philosophers. I don't think the people you're describing are hedonists.

Who would I be to judge if he was correct or incorrect?

A person with their own opinions and presumably possessing information that contradicts his?
