The thing is, the majority of theists don't just believe in some kind of creator, they believe in a specific comic book hero. Those are two entirely different propositions and they get frequently conflated.
The first proposition is of no real consequence. The second usually concerns the destination of your "eternal soul", which obviously makes the additional assumption that there is such a thing.
I'd be happy to say the probability that there is some kind of creator is about 1% by my estimation (the simulation hypothesis, mainly). I feel no need to throw superlatives and fancy words at this hypothetical creator. But the probability that this creator happens to correlate with a comic book character is so negligible that it isn't worth any serious consideration.
