@jwisser The way I first learned about Bayesian reasoning was in the evolution-vs-intelligent-design-arguments Usenet group. Most of the laziest proofs of the existence of God by internet theists leveraged Bayes' theorem, and could be most easily punctured with the sentence "you selected bad priors". Now a couple decades pass and people who know about Bayes' theorem but not theology are re-inventing "God" from first principles for different reasons, but with very similar bad priors
