P(Supernatural) What is the probability that supernatural events, defined as those involving ontologically basic mental entities, have occurred since the beginning of the universe?
P(God) What is the probability that there is a god, defined as a supernatural (see above) intelligent entity who created the universe?
So deism (God creating the universe but not being involved in the universe once it began) could make p(God) > p(Supernatural).
Looking at the the data by individual instead of in aggregate, 82 people have p(God) > p(Supernatural); 223 have p(Supernatural) > p(God).

Given this, the numbers no longer seem anomalous. Thank you.
Except that the question specified “God” as an ontologically basic mental entity.
So they believe that God created the universe, but has ceased to exist since.
We have 82 Nietzscheans.
