I'm getting sick of how evangelical Christians are inserting religion into college sports.

I'm very familiar with Christianity.

I am saying that the reality of life is that people who profess a belief in one thing or another do not show any values that are better or worse than others. This is clearly demonstrable in the lives of people all the time.

The reality, no matter what the claim, is that saying you are a Christian means nothing in terms of behavior, no matter what a religion claims. The most hateful politicians I've ever seen claimed Christianity as an excuse for their hate. Based upon behavior, it's just as reasonable to claim that Christian values in action include hate.

The issue was why would this person claim the team's success had anything to do with religious belief and the reality is that it has nothing to do with it.

That someone would make this claim is idiotic - because the reverse is not claimed if they lose - and rightly so because there are a lot of reasons for success or failure on the field - and a lot of them have to do with the team you're playing, not just you.

If you want to make false statements about why someone would try to claim religious belief had something to do with athletic success, expect to be called on it. Not everyone here lives in the bubble of fundie-speak.
