The question is how you think God/ the universe relates to you, not you to it. Is it indifferent to your plight. That's the difference that faith brings.

I get that you have a negative understanding of Christianity. That seems a waste of brain processing cycles to me. You spend energy having to put something down rather than enriching your own experience.

Whether the universe is indifferent to me is a matter of fact. The facts suggest it is indifferent to my plight as it is not sentient. Faith to the contrary will changes the facts one whit.

I do have a negative understanding of some Christianity. There are a rather large number of versions. All of them are unsupported by evidence.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
