Call it what you will.

Only people that drive me crazy are the ones that feel the need to shove their beliefs down your throat. When it comes to that stuff, live and let live is what I say.

Obviously, most religious people have "the need." There is a gradient involved here. Islam having the most "need," and Buddhism having the least "need."....As far as players thanking God for success goes, is that part of religious doctrine(God will favor you in athletic events?) I think they think it doesn't hurt, and it could help(covering their a-s-s just in case.)

I don't think it has anything to do with currying favor from God in athletic events. It seems to me that many people that carry this faith, believe in their hearts that their God blessed them with a talent and maybe that is their way of thanking Him.

Again, there are radicals on both sides of the ball (no pun intended) that seem intent on jamming their particular beliefs down your throat. I have my particular faith that I choose to rely on and would never tell someone that believes different from me that they are wrong.
