Sledge is right on both counts.
St. Anselm's argument doesn't explain why it would be necessary for a single greatest being to exist, not two or more of equal greatness. In fact it doesn't explain why the existence of anything is necessary.
Nor would there be any correlation between said being and any god defined by a human religion, because every religion (that I know of) ascribes certain traits to its vision of God. Complete goodness is one I'm thinking of.... an evil god would still fit St. Anselm's criteria.
By the way, Mantus, check your link to the .pdf, I couldn't get it to work.
