Pascal's Wager isn't a very good wager tbh. It assumes that the only possible outcomes are "Christian God" and "No God". Ignoring Hindu God, Pagan Gods, Greek Gods, Xenu, any number of unnamed gods, Pixies, Fairies, A Computer Programmer who rewards logic over faith, and any number of other potential scenarios. Including angry gods who prefer you worship no gods to worshiping the wrong god.

Not necessarily. There are a lot of gods, but most of them won't send you to hell. Like, the Greek gods aren't going to care about you whether you believe in them or not.

So to maximize your expected gain, you want to pick a god who will send you to eternal damnation if you don't believe in him. Obviously you might screw yourself over (what if you pick the wrong one? what if the real god is extra mad that you picked the wrong one?) but that's why it's a wager.
