Dr. Klaas Kraay explains that the multiverse, rather than serving as an alternative to God, actually supports belief in God by undermining two atheistic arguments: the problem of evil and the problem of no best world.
Check out Klaas' paper explaining the theistic multiverse, "Theism, Possible Worlds, and the Multiverse."
Also see my paper looking at the relationship between theistic multiverses and modern science, "Does science undermine the theistic multiverse?"
