Its their property because they are using it. Your arguments break down when they are applied to determining whether or not a person has a right to land that they are living on. In your case the answer is no, in the case of any rational human being that actually respects the laws and customs of society the answer is a resounding yes.I just want to say that i think the idea of " land ownership " is ridiculous in it's entirety. How can you " own " something that is ever changing, was there before you ever came along, and will be there long after you are gone. Who did you " buy " it from, and who " sold " it to them. Or who did you " take " it from, and who did they " take " it from. Up here, we have people say " I own that river, stream, creek, etc. " Really, how the fuck are you going to own a river. Give me a break. And when you take religion, which should be seperate from everything except what's in your own mind, and add it to the mix, well, obviously everything just gets more fucked up. We are one species, living on one planet. You either care about every person on the planet, or you care only about yourself. Everything for everone, or nothing for anyone. You choose.
Or a better argument for property rights is the argument that has the person that is claiming ownership has improved the land by building structures on it, it is thus their land.
So, Improvement, by building on it, Occupation, by living on it, or Use, of it are key tests for property rights, but not the only tests. As the structure of society is built up on the rights of holders of properties to deny those rights is to deny society.
Your arguments show an extreme misunderstanding of what society is, and how it came to be.
