How does the concept apply in your eyes? Because you aren’t handed everything on a silver tablet? It is funny and sad, how the underlying entitlement in this assumption goes back to how the bad in the world does come from free will of bad actors. If people, in particular western capitalist people, would be less entitled, maybe they would realise that the ressources of the world are not for them to exploit and waste in a few generations, even more so by brutaly opressing and murdering the people they take them from.
So we get climate change as a just punishment for our greed. And if you ask, how it would be a just punishment, look at the exhaustive information we had on it. There is evidence of climate change being known to science in the 19th century already. There is now more than 50 years of knowledge and warning in the general public. And what do we do? Destroy, destroy and destroy.
But to be specific about Leukemia, particularly in young children. It is directly linked to deliberate pollution, fueled by nothing but greed. The children of Basra are suffering from Leukemia because of the depleted uranium used in American tank shells in the Guld and Iraq war. Why did they put the uranium in the tank shells? Because of their greed, making a cheap and destructive shell, while “getting rid” of the left over uranium from nuclear enrichment. Of course also many veterans and their children are suffering from the use of these weapons.
You are projecting your Stockholm Syndrome, believing the destructive greed at the core of our societies to be in your favor, when in fact it is just harming you. You cannot think entitlement without greed. And the violent rejection of some religions comes from the danger its gratitude poses to a capitalist order, reliant on everyones greed.
but I also see how people have leveraged faith as a platform to make things the way they are.
So by this logic, would you reject human rights and democracy, as they are regularly abused by western imperialism as a reason to invade countries and steal their ressources, furthering the very order you hate? Or would you consider communism or socialism an alternative, but then run into the problems of how Stalin, Mao and others used them to justify horrible crimes too?
Can you elaborate what you mean by this?

You’re on an atheist board, preaching…
