As I have understood it, modal fictionalism compares to modal realism in the way that on the former, one need not assume that the worlds are plausibly real in order to benefit from thinking about them (essentially hypothetical situations) while the latter suggests that all worlds can be real because the claim "this world is real" is indexical.

I'm trying to become more technically savvy with the philosophical jargon.

“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” - Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”- Voltaire
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” -Epicurus
