I think the probability of some sort of Judeo-Christian God is much higher than the probability of some other random God. Although we don't have good "evidence" for any Gods, there have been several very influential prophets who claim to have a message from the same God. I haven't seen any stories about people who claim to be from some other God and are even remotely as successful/popular.

This is a cultural bias. There have been hundreds of Gods in different cultures and throughout different times all throughout human history. People have been communicating with their God(s) throughout.
If you lived in other parts of the world and/or in another era... you might be saying the same thing about Vishnu.
On a related note- the popularity of a belief has little bearing on its likelihood.
The more people who believe Elvis is alive and UFOs regularly anally probe hillbillies does not change the liklihood that it is real.
