His age is one reason, albeit a lesser one, but his being an avowed socialist will absolutely get him slaughtered in a national election. To a very large percentage of the American people there is no dirtier word for a politician than socialist. IMO an atheist has a better chance of being elected POTUS than a socialist. Sanders' only chance is if Cruz is his opponent and I view that as by far the least likely of the four current outcomes.

Trump vs. Sanders = President Trump
Hillary vs. Trump = President Clinton
Cruz vs. Hillary = President Clinton
Sanders vs. Cruz = President Sanders

I am adamant that if Sanders is the nominee against Trump that Trump will absolutely bury him.

That's the only iffy one.
The rest I agree with.

I know a lot of sexist Dem guys that swear they'd vote Rep, before voting for a woman president.

It's really about mass appeal. Clinton has that over Trump and she's less polarizing to the general public. She'd take the female vote by a large margin. I don't see Trump beating her.

While unfortunate, I agree. An atheist will be pouts in my lifetime, but not until I'm collecting SS. FML.

Well you take solace that we have an atheist in there now. Honestly I wouldn't automatically say no to an atheist candidate it would depend on this positions and in regards to religion of he would use his power to attack religious people or just let everyone be and work on what we ccan improve. I would actually respect a candidate who would be willing to come out and admit they were an atheist.
