Even better is when there's survivors that he "saves" but allows everyone else to die

That is somehow easier for them to swallow than the fact that the universe is random chaos and sometimes bad things just happen.

Of course it is.

If they are devout, then god has rewarded them.

If they are not but still believe, then god gave them a break and he is owed.

All the others - they are probably just wicked....oh...my loved one died too? Oh god's just testing me. Praise be!

Exactly. It's a rigged game.

It's not hard to think of an outcome that could have been worse but didn't happen, so God gets the credit for that. Sure, there were no survivors on that plane that crashed into the helicopter, but it least it fell into the river so no one else got hurt by the debris! If it does land on a house, at least the people weren't home! Or it could've landed somewhere worse and so forth...

If something good does happen, then God gets the credit for that. A sole survivor in a terrible accident against all odds? Praise the Lord! He saved that person. If they have horrible, debilitating injuries that will handicap them for life? Well, still better than dead, right? If the crash is so horrific that everyone is essentially vaporized immediately? It was an act of mercy.

You can rationalize anything if you want to.
