Do as little harm as possible. Be friendly. Be charitable.And how do you define human well-being?

No.
God is a Godist.
I would also say "what God?" The Abrahamic God especially only cares about itself.
If god wanted our well-being wouldn't he design us and a world that epitimizes this? Some of us do not wish for the well-being of others, and god created them, as he did Satan and free will, so I do not believe that God truly cares what happens, exactly. He has his mysterious plans, eh?
Maybe not quickly, yet it is undeniable that we are making progress being better humans.
Does it even seem like God is helping us be "better humans" or aren't we doing this on our own. The decks were stacked against us and we have to fight nature to be where we are.I believe that God did create us in a world that epitomizes this. He gave us everything we need to create a harmonious human existence and history shows we are on this trajectory. If you look past the misogyny and terrible things of our history, you can see that we are moving toward better health, human rights, environmental sustainability and so on. Maybe not quickly, yet it is undeniable that we are making progress being better humans.

???
What warped interpretation of the texts gave you this idea?
really? come on!!!
the abrahamic god is more concerned about his kingdom than his subjects...
that is a no brainer. the entire concept of sin and redemption is all contingent on none other than...ahem...god.
what god wants, god gets
supposedly.
