I've never heard anyone seriously say that, but I don't doubt that they exist.

I'm curious what they have to say about the different beliefs of different theist traditions... that is, is the prior for each of them supposed to be .5?

I need to find a written example. I believe a debate Christopher Hitchens lost against a theist involved him being waylaid by an unexpected Bayesian attack. In any case, I have an anecdotal datum that the word is out there.
