Someone can say he's trusting that single probability that there is a god, but if the chances are even as low as 1/6400, it's illogical to think that hundreds of millions of people are willing to take those odds.
Therefore it's illogical (and stupid) for a theist to use this argument in favor of belief.

For pedantry's sake I'll say this: Given that both options cannot be satisfactorily be proven or disproven, how do we know that both options aren't equally probable? Or, if they are unequal, in which way the balance tips? Could it not be equally illogical for an atheist to use this argument?
