    There’s also one massive miscalculation in there.

    What if the “real god” prefers non-believers to believers in the wrong gods? What if he’s jealous, and only his believers and non-believers go to heaven, while all believers of wrong gods go to hell?

      This is really the primary death knell for the argument. Yes, there billions and billions of “god” variations - but at least believing in one might get you a (near-zero) better chance at a decent afterlife.

      …until you realize the category of “Gods who dont want your worship”.

        Only those who complete life without believing in a God pass into the next stage of the simulation.
