This is basically some sort of appeal to popularity combined with a non sequitur. Lots of people think about it, so it must be real.
The thing that we naturally have is a desire to ask questions; which is not matched by our ability, as a species, to answer them. This makes many people uncomfortable. So much so that they make up a proxy answer. People just happen to use the most popular three letter word going around as the current mental pacifier. But there's so little in common between what different theists carry around in their brain that to even refer to it as the same thing is a stretch.
