I got a 7 at GCSE for religious studies and I find it interesting but I heard at A levels it gets pretty hard and I heard that sociology has more content but it is wayyy easier so I’m in a bit of a dilemma

Instead of other Sociology or Philosophy, I would highly recommend that you do Religious Studies. It's extremely interesting and much, much easier to get a good mark than the other two subjects. Religious Studies has a lot of philosophy in it as well (ethics) and most of the subject content is common sense.

i don’t know if you will know but 50% is Christianity and the other 50% is philosophy of religion and ethics
I’m not sure if that is philosophy or religious studies

I did Philosophy in A Level Religious Studies and found it super interesting! You do ethical theories and delve into religious debates as part of the A Level too. Very enriching

Sociology is quite a bit harder I think and it can be really dense as well.

That's A level Religious Studies and Ethics and not A level Philosophy. Definitely go with RS - extremely interesting and an easy grade! Sociology is quite a bit harder I think and it can be really dense as well.

I’m struggling with how to word my sentences as I am getting the point but my sentences aren’t strong enough to justify my arguments

If you are introducing a scholar, be concise. There is no need for a background on their life e.g. "David Hume supports this, convincingly criticising the use of analogy, in that one cannot apply human terms to God; doing so involves the risk of anthropomorphism". There is no need to say where he studied, what books he wrote etc.
One lifesaver, to ensure you get those evaluation marks, are adverbs such as "persuasively", "unpersuasively", "strongly", "weakly"; apply these when you introduce a scholarly view and you'll get the strong justifications you need

It depends on what your sentence if about. If it is introducing an argument, relate it to the q e.g. a paragraph to the question 'Discuss whether the Teleological Arg is convincing' may start as "The Teleological Argument is unconvincing because it relies on the questionable basis of flawed analogies." Be firm and assertive in your sentences, don't say "some might argue" unless you are introducing a counter-argument. You are trying to persuade your examiner that your viewpoint is sound.
