Is the universe kind? That was Einstein's great question. Do, ultimately, things turn out in a way that we humans would consider good and benign--or not?
Certainly Christianity, but pretty much every other religion as well, asserts an ultimate universal positive. The "what" and "which" of it may vary, but, ultimately, religion asserts that the universe is "kind".
Said G.K. Chesterton: "Atheism is the most daring of all dogmas, for it is the assertion of a universal negative."
