After all, if we had reason to expect that many people would believe in gods even if there were no gods (null hypothesis), but then nobody at all believed in gods, that would be inconsistent with the null hypothesis.
I agree. I was really making a point that some here don't like to accept: that there is evidence for God/gods,. Of course, that doesn't make it good or compelling evidence, much less such that makes God's/gods' existence more likely than the negation.
