Does it have to be a few billion? What about a couple of million? Where is your cut off, and how did you determine that number to be accurate? Anecdotes are still anecdotes, no matter their quantity. Hundreds of thousands of people also believe the Mandela Effect is caused by parallel universes sliding into one other, but the sheer quantity of lunatics who believe such nonsense does not lend the theory an ounce more credibility than if it were just one individual claiming it.
Why do I have to have a cutoff? How many apples do we have to drop to examine the properties of gravity? The fact that the same thing happens over and over (with different people over 2000 years) with reliability and predictability is empirical evidence of a cause and effect relationship. The individual ascribes the effect to salvation and God. Therefore, unless you are willing to throw out human intuition as a source of knowledge, you are left with proof of the existence of God.
