That's a pure misunderstanding as I understand it. The God (or the notion, if one prefers) is there not to do stuff for one, but help one do the right thing. If one is seeking such help. But no one is obligated to.
Many cults - especially the proselytizing type - simplify (bastardize) things to just get people in.
as it turns out 'god' seems pretty irrelevant. "if there really was a god here, he would have raised a hand by now ...".

well, this 'helping believers to do the right thing' isn't really working, afaik.
