NASCAR and Religion

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

Hello,

Why does it seem that American Atheists have a beef with everything that involves Christianity, yet not Muslim, Hindu, and Jewish, or any other religions of that matter? If it's a Muslim, Hindu, or Jewish thing... Oh, that's okay... but if it's Christianity... OMG! THAT'S OFFENSIVE TO ME!!!! GET THAT REMOVED!

American Atheists recently told NASCAR to stop with invocations prior to races as they believe it is very offensive to that off atheist, muslim, and jewish fans.

Ok, are you kidding me? What in god's name? Let's think about this: 100% of the drivers within ALL THREE SERIES are Christian (answerbag.com). The Earnhardts were die-hard Lutherans, Michael and Darrell Waltrip are very strong baptists, Jimmie Johnson is a liberal catholic, Bill Elliott? Baptist... Just those examples tell me that NASCAR is one extremely religious sport that scoffs at the notion of ending invocations. The people who come to races? Probably 99.9% Christian.

I am a Methodist/Lutheran mix. I've been learning more about the Catholic faith, but while I don't agree with some of how they do things (I am still in the learning process), it is a religion that believes in whom I like to call "The Big Dude Upstairs."

I'm sure when I go to heaven, God's popularity there is ultimate to the point where you got to get the best seat in the house just to see him.

I remember an episode from the Golden Girls. Sophia was talking to her dead husband Salvatore about Heaven.

Sophia: "How's god!?"
Sal: "Oh he's really nice! You should see his Cadillac!"

Religion is extremely important to me, I attend church on Sundays, I'm joining church leagues and even hopefully down the road, the St. Agnes Men - Though I am not catholic. Having that word of god with me at all times just goes to show me that god is there and he is very protective of me and all of his children.

I also think Pope Francis has done a magnificent job of bringing the world together. He's cleaning up the Catholic Church and rooting out the problem spots.

Do we keep prayer in NASCAR? You better believe it.
