Longer Explanation: The way I understand it, the universe of God feels safer because we think of God as like us. In that world, there’s a higher being out there. Since we model that being as having similar motivations, desires, etc., we believe that God will also follow some sort of morality and subscribe to basic ideas of fairness. So He’ll be compelled to intervene in the case things get too bad.
The existence of God also makes you feel less responsible for your fate. For example, if he chooses to smite you, there’s nothing you can do. But in a universe of Math, if you don’t take action, no higher being is going to step in to hurt/harm you.
Since we model that being as having similar motivations, desires, etc., we believe that God will also follow some sort of morality and subscribe to basic ideas of fairness.
Also, consider that we exist. If there is such a supreme being, then logically, that supreme being does not object to our existence (since we have not yet been smited). Therefore, to said supreme being, our presence is either desirable or irrelevant. If desirable, our presence can be expected to continue; and the human ego will not allow many people to seriously consider ourselves irrelevant, so that option is often simply not considered.
Short Answer: It’s not.
