Now, a disclaimer I should put into this article right away is that I do not believe in god. No, really, I don’t.  That is why what I am about to say is hilarious, sad, and alarming all at the same time. According to a recent study, one-third of Americans believe that god decides the outcomes of sporting events. No, really, they believe this. According to The Raw Story, a study reveals the following:

“Americans are less likely to believe that God plays a role in the outcome of sporting events than they are to believe God rewards religious athletes. While only about 3-in-10 (27%) Americans, believe that God plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event, a majority (53%) believe that God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success, compared to 42% who disagree.
