I can't think of any other analogue that would explain why a being would willfully create the universe, an object which seems to serve no particular purpose.

Maybe "god" is just a mathematical term that defines the laws of nature.
Yes, but if this is the case, then "god" as defined in any religious text, does not exist, since a mathematical term is not a being.

Or maybe god is the complete soulmatter of every living being, including you and me?
That also doesn't fit the depiction as given by mainstream religion. Once again, such a thing is not a position to possess any sort of volition or ability to act independently, or to perform acts such as creating the universe, or consigning people to burn in hell for all eternity.
