OK I read the link but perhaps I should have mentiined earlier I knew about this already but reading the link was refreshing and I am able to cite something from within the link that perhaps you failed to notice.
From your link...
Crowds tend to work best when there is a correct answer to the question being posed, such as a question about geography or mathematics.
[17] When there is not a precise answer crowds can come to arbitrary conclusions.
[18]
The wisdom of the crowd effect is easily undermined.
Social influence can cause the average of the crowd answers to be wildly inaccurate, while the geometric mean and the median are far more robust.
[19]
End of quote now its just me ....
So I read it and its much like what I recall about the croud...or the mob as I prefer...I think it came up when I was looking at the reasoning behind the gallaxy zoo project where folk with no experience were asked to identify gallaxies...apparently it works in that situation.
That was rather specific ...
the main problem with croud input would be in framing the question...try ...do you think others gods are as good as yours and do they exist...well I suspect the croud would indicate there is no general god.
Ask do you think there is some higher being and you may get 90% saying yes...
Its is so open to maniplulation with a god question I believe it would be useless...what question would you ask...can you ask one that shows no bias for example real or unintentional...
