"Templar Knights performing massacres on innocents." Yes, as much good as Christian religion has been known to do... it's not without it's extremist nuts.

"kicked Adam and Eve out of Eden just for picking an apple from a tree." Adam and Eve had fair warning not to touch that fruit (which has never been proven to be an apple) but Eve allowed herself to be tricked by the smooth-talking Lucifer.

"Or when He raped a woman and forced her to give birth to His son without her consent." Again, Mary was given a heads-up, by a fucking angel no less. And she did consent (not that I'm saying she had a choice, because I don't know what would have happened had she said "no.")

"Oh, and that time He told a man to kill his son..." That was a test. God is a jealous god. Even a man's love for his son should not prevent him doing God's will. Abraham trusted God. Even if he had killed his son, he would have been at God's side in heaven having been an honorable sacrifice.

"With a god like that, I don't blame them for worshiping false deities instead." It has always been easier to supplement one's need to worship when it comes to things we can see with our own eyes. Plus the fact most religions were centered around giving people excuses to rape, pillage, murder, etc.

"Also, everything you said about people pretending to be gods can be used as accusations towards Jesus, though he falls more under Demigod." Demigods never expressed the kind of powers Jesus possessed. They were sometimes stronger, faster, or tactically superior to normal men, but they were just lucky. Goliath, being practically a giant, could have been described as a demigod (actually some describe him and other demigods as Nephilim, the children of fallen angels). But Jesus did things few others had accomplished in years prior (exceptions being those such as Moses who admitted their powers were given by God). Jesus was the only one who called himself God who brought the magic to back it up.
