One-quarter of all Americans believe that God cares about who wins the Super Bowl. That's according to a survey released in January 2017. That's slightly less than the number (28 percent) who believe God had "a major role" in placing Donald Trump in the White House.
This latest study follows the results of previous surveys with some of the same questions. According to a Religion News Service article, "In 2013, 27 percent of Americans said they believed God was involved in sports outcomes, and in 2015 that number was 26 percent." Of course there's a flip side to this: 20 percent of sports fans believe their teams have been "cursed" at some point. But not everyone thinks that God answers prayers in favor of their team. 73 percent of Americans believe that God doesn't intervene in the final score.
