How about you focus on saying something that is not just a bald, unsupported, and unsupportable assertion of your faith?
What evidence have you that minds are 'necessary', and not just something that happens to exist - like planets, or puppy dogs, or peanut brittle?
'Necessary' is simply not an applicable concept. Reality as a whole doesn't 'need' things. It just is things.
What evidence do you have that you can take away minds and have the universe behave the exact same way?
Mind IS (part of) the behaviour of the universe.
Why would something behave the same way if you took away some of that behaviour?
Mind is something that happens. Not a substance.
The point is that the universe's physical behavior wouldn't be any different without minds.
