Kalam leads to God with biblical attributes via conceptual analysis

The universe is space, time, energy, and matter. Whatever caused it must be spaceless, timeless, immaterial, and immensely powerful. These attributes rule out Hinduism and old pagan religions (whose gods are not spaceless/timeless/immaterial). They align with the biblical God described in Genesis 1, Hebrews 11, John 1:1. God calls himself "I AM" because he simply exists—he did not begin to exist and therefore needs no creator. The Kalam does not give you Jesus and the cross directly but makes the atheist more of a theist consistent with biblical theism.
