I am basically a christian, I was raised in this kind of environment, and very early on I attached in particular to the concept that Truth is Authority. It has led to all kinds of struggles in my life because I instinctively fight against false forms of Authority.
I have some concept that I can explain about what I think God is. It's basically the 'end point' of the universe. In my physics hypothesis, there is no end, time began, but it will never end, and this can be done because it takes 1 and endlessly divides it in two, meaning that the path from 0 to 1 never ends. So you could say that God is precisely every bit of information that contributes towards the propagation of Truth and thus the development of more and more individuals who know and follow it.
Thus in some epistemological sense, God exists, but there is no active component. God, in the absolute sense, is something infinite, beyond possible apprehension. But you can point at things, with a theory based on His Authority, that demonstrates his influence. It is not active. God has no ego, he does not wish anything except the central premise that what he creates blossoms and blooms into every more, ever better things, that make his creation even more beautiful than it astoundingly already is. 'The Hand of God' is simply anything where a newly discovered principle of the universe demonstrates itself concretely. It is not willed, or wanted, by this God, because God does not have any wants. It is all a gift to us.
Well, I went quite mad commenting there, but I hope you enjoyed what came out.
