There are a bunch of answers to this that people with different perspectives gave. Pretty cool. So I won't expand on this much.
Since the question was towards me, I'll just narrate the Christian side in a blip.
One of my fav verses in the Bible is this:
“ነገርን መሰወር ለእግዚአብሔር ክብሩ ነው፤ ነገርን ፈልፍሎ ማውጣት ግን ለነገሥታት ክብራቸው ነው።”
— ምሳሌ 25፥2
It says that Humanity and civilization expanding in complexities, advancements, technology, tools, and more is our honor. It's what make us beautiful and shine. It's our story to tell at the campfire.
So God purposely hid things, in the literal sense for us to dig up or explore to discover and also in the sense that He made things so complex that we have to upgrade our complexities to reach what He hid. So well practiced science and technology makes God happy and it is in complete alignment of His will.
Another striking story for me is the story of Bezalel in the Bible. He is considered to be the first person the Holy Spirit came onto and filled him with so much engineering, architectural, interior design and construction knowledge and wisdom.
“እነሆ፤ ከይሁዳ ነገድ የሆር የልጅ ልጅ የሆነውን የኡሪን ልጅ ባስልኤልን መርጬዋለሁ። በሁሉም ዐይነት የእጅ ጥበብ ሥራ፣ ብልሃት፣ ችሎታና ዕውቀት እንዲኖረው የእግዚአብሔርን መንፈስ ሞልቼዋለሁ፤ይኸውም በወርቅ፣ በብርና በናስ ለሚሠሩት ሥራዎች በጥበብ የተሠሩ ጌጦችን እንዲያበጅ፣ ድንጋዮችን እንዲቆፍርና እንዲጠርብ ከዕንጨትም ጥርብ እንዲያወጣ፣ ሁሉንም ዐይነት የእጅ ጥበብ ሥራዎችን እንዲያከናውን ነው።"
-- ዘጸአት 31:2-5
Here you can see that God not only wants people to pursue science, technology, engineering, maths and more but He will actively participate in your journey.
God encourages believers to pursue complexities, seek the truth, discover things, battle the evils of this world both in the spiritual and physical sense, to seek wisdom actively and more.
Now, what's so beautiful for a Christian STEM person is that the products, technology, tools and designs built are sound morally, have gone through so much value filters that it prevents some possible evil and addictions as well.
But in a deeper sense, God works with you. His Spirit pours down wisdom and knowledge, guides and teaches you. So when you're out there fighting to make a cure for cancer, building spaceships to reach other solar systems, building robots to help humanity, building software to enhance life; God will bless, guide and help you with that.
Another deep thing is, purpose and beauty. So you could launch the best AI there is but then again you have no meaning for your life, you could be dying on the inside, you could not experience what joy is.
AND THESE ARE SOME THINGS WHAT GODLESS STEM PEOPLE OFTEN LACK, THAT BELIEVERS EXPERIENCE ON A DAILY BASIS.
