Showing Original Post only (View all)Half Of Americans Say God Plays A Role In Super Bowl Winner: Survey [View all]
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/16/super-bowl-prayer_n_4605665.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009Two weeks ahead of the Super Bowl, half of American sports fans say they believe God or a supernatural force is at play in the games they watch, according to a new survey.
That percentage includes Americans who pray for God to help their team (26 percent), think their team has been cursed (25 percent) or more generally believe God is involved in determining who wins on the court or in the field (19 percent). Overall, half of Americans fall into one of these groups, according to the survey Public Religion Research Institute released Tuesday.
