With millions of Americans set to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, a new survey finds more than a quarter of Americans believe that God "plays a role in determining which team wins" at sports events.
The survey by the Public Religion Research Institute also found that more than half of Americans believe "God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success."
Asked if they believe God plays a role in who wins, 27% of Americans said yes. Poll results varied among regions and religions: 36% said yes in the South, 28% in the Midwest, 20% in the Northeast and 15% in the West.
Among nonwhite Christians and white evangelicals, 40% and 38% said yes, respectively; 29% of Catholics and 19% of white mainline Protestants also responded that God plays a role.

Does one team pray harder or something? What's the logic of God deciding an outcome, does he gamble?

If God determines sports outcomes, He really hates Wake Forest.

What's the difference in "white evangelicals" and "white mainline protestants"?

If God influences sporting events, then he must be a bandwagon fan.
And I hate bandwagon fans.

I believe a much higher percentage of Americans are blithering idiots.
