If you had not already answered the way you did I would have so I will just say "What he said"!Since you asked I will answer. Be warned my views are a bit muddy and I'm intentionally brief or vague at times to avoid typing walls of text.
1. What would happen if you died today? If you believe that you have a Spirit, where would it go?
Heaven, or closer to it.
2. What would happen to those who are of a different religion than your own? (Refer to question 1)
I tend to believe that all religions are paths to the same destination, unless it's a religion that fosters hate.
3. According to your beliefs, what happens if a person never knew God?
It depends on the type of life that person led to an extent.
4. Did the Supreme Architect create evil?
No, at least not directly.
5. If the Supreme Architect did not create evil, where did it originate?
Evil is the absence of God, much like shadow/darkness exists because light is not presence. Evil is not a 'thing' so much as is it an absence of light/God/good.
6. If the Devil/Lucifer/Iblis was banished from Heaven, what was the reason? Does that mean sin exists in Heaven?
Unless I'm mistaken, the devil being banished from heaven is a story that doesn't even exist in the Bible, rather it appears in a book written by Thomas Hobbs called 'Leviathan'. No, I don't believe sin exists in Heaven as it represents a oneness with God.
It's already been pointed out but I also agree that Lucifer and Satan are not the same entities or interchangeable terms.
7. If sin already existed before Adam and Eve...(fill in the blank)
I believe it did but I'm unsure what this would imply.
