It's my default too, since the only religions that I'm really knowledgeable about are Anti-Cosmic Satanism and Christianity. And a little bit of Buddhism, too.

Sure, it's one example of a god, it just makes things more difficult to argue on "there is a god" side. If you're just trying to make the case for the possibility of some sort of deity, all you have to argue is that
something that could be a god might be out there somewhere. If you go down the Christian God route, you now have to argue for the existence of a being named God who has a specific set of often contradictory attributes, and you also have to argue the validity of
The Bible—which contains numerous well-documented contradictions and inaccuracies—
and to a certain extent you put yourself in the position of having to argue against all other possible gods since God is supposed to be the one and only.
