Fair point. The way I see it is that, where we may fall short of the mark, it offers something to aspire to; providing helpful guidelines for improvement.

The mountain is there to be climbed.
I like this, I like the fact that it there are simple ways of living that would make our world a happier place, but why on earth do such principles/ideals have to have a mention of 'god' Do people not think that you can live well, care for others, everything Gandhi suggests without having to believe in something or other.

I am somewhat surprised by your post because his proposals listed here are predominantly humanitarian in nature, i.e. not about conversion to God.
Yes Gandhi was a religious man and you have managed to find (and highlight) just the one reference to God, where he briefly shares his own experience. Notably - under 5. Take care of the moment - Gandhi shares that "God has given me no control over the moment following."
