When you analogize a god or a number of gods to the tooth fairy, etc. are you saying they are equally improbable?

I believe the analogy used to compare un-evidenced supernatural entities.
Gods, Tooth fairies, leprechauns, etc are all members the set of un-evidenced, unsupported, supernatural entities.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
