It reduces the concept of "god" to a rather contentless expression of the passage of time rather than any sort of being with agency. It's interesting.

So basically, praise Whatever. Good thing happens, praise! Bad thing happens, praise!

I can see how people find it helpful to go through life with that kind of attitude, but it sucks for promoting a motivational framework in which we strive to achieve things that actually don't suck.
