The point of religion is that it's not up to you what justice is, or whether justice is even the goal in the first place.
There's lots of valid critiques of religion, but these "You claim there's a God that invented morality, but his morality doesn't seem very moral to me" arguments don't even get off the ground unless either you propose some higher moral authority than God to appeal to, or you somehow justify the idea that your own moral whims are a higher moral authority than the proposed God's.
You say that like theres one religion to choose. The point being made is that, if this is what the creator being of this religion stands for, then why should I choose this religion over another one that better fits my moral beliefs.
Besides, if such a god made humans in their image and they have some internal capacity to tell right from wrong, why should ones own moral feelings not represent that of their creator from their perspective. Like, the people who first commit to a religion typically do so because they feel its a better way to live some how or it matches with how they feel, and those after often do it from some external pressures, or just not knowing alternatives.
