This cannot rule out simulations from universes with other laws of physics but I see no reasonable way to go about even starting to quantify that probability.
Unfortunately, you don’t get to dismiss a possibility just because you’re not sure how to quantify it.
Also given that none of these religions claim that the deity is something like a simulator that should be a serious strike against the claims.
Haven’t read much theology have you? There are certainly theological schools of most religions that make versions of this claim. Hinduism, for example, claims that the universe is the dream of the god Brahman.

I agree. One needs to work at quantifying it. I don’t know how to do that. Any ideas?

Sure, that’s a valid example which fits pretty closely with the examples I gave. Actually, that pattern matches better, although it still requires some squinting. But yes, you are essentially correct so that’s more probability mass away from Christianity.
