Yes, that's why I wrote

Insofar as they are wrong, it is good for us to argue against them.
Popularity is not a reliable sign of quality, and the truth isn't decided by popular vote.
I agree that a belief's popularity doesn't give it any credence. However, the only thing one could possibly say is better about the god you seem to talk about is that it is, according to some, harder to disprove. That doesn't mean we have any reason to believe in that god, either, though. If anything, it's just more CYA nonsense.
