On the one hand, Roy objects to "a bunch of supposedly-benevolent deities opt[ing] to throw all of us under the cosmic bus when push [comes] to shove".

On the other hand, Roy says "My top priority is saving this world and these people".

It seems to me that the only real difference between the motivations of Roy and those "supposedly-benevolent deities" is which world (or worlds) and which people are of highest priority. In the case of a conflict of interest, both primarily look out for their own home, their own kind.
