Not really.
They dont actually believe in all of them at once - they believe in
only one or one group at any one time.
Evidence is not a relevant "cause" of belief - belief follows what the
believer needs from a psychological (you could say spiritual) point of
view.
They look at exactly the same world as everyone else but come up with
different ideas about the unseen "powers" that influence/create/
control all that real verifiable stuff you and I see.

Life and existence really are ultimately mysterious - even for the
most knowledgeable human imaginable - and so there is always room for
our imaginations to fill the unknown with fantastic beings.
Its a consequence of how our minds work.

What is "logical evidence"?
I know what logic is and I know what evidence is - but I don't think
"logical evidence" is a meaningful construct.
