As an pedantic note regarding existential philosophy, while popular religions feature a god or a pantheon that is aligned with and interested in human civilization, these presumptions are not necessary in theistic models.

As counter examples, the Meso-American gods were largely malevolent to humankind, as are Lovecraft's elder gods.

It might be a troubling possibility that even if the universe is a simulation that life on Earth, and all of human history are merely emergent from natural laws doing their thing.
