What we observe is what we would expect to see, in a universe ... if there were no gods.
No intervention when bad things happen, despite the promise to do so.
"Ask anything in my name etc ...bla bla bla".
Theists define their gods with various descriptors. "Good", "loving" "just" etc.
It could do whatever it wants, but if theists are correct, it would be constrained to do what is best.
Whatever that means, it would not include making innocent 5 year olds to suffer and painfully die with one of the pediatric bone cancers.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
