People imagine all kinds of things, but the majority of people from every corner of the world, have not embraced and carried on the belief in pink elephants.
God is an evolving concept in tune with how the human mind has culturally evolved over a timespan involving various cultures and traditions, generally having started out as very primitive conceptions of gods to more sophisticated types that the intellectual elites among believers have carefully crafted over the past recent centuries.
In no manner has any such God shown to be more than just a product of human imagination and creativity. And appeal to a majority is a fallacy, especially if we're talking a majority of laypeople ...
Also, the pink elephant thingy is a red herring.
