Twenty-five percent of Americans believe God decides the winner of the Super Bowl. The survey question was not specific to the Super Bowl, but rather involved all sporting events. Furthermore, the survey question stipulated that God "plays a role" in determining the outcome of events, rather than single-handedly "deciding" the winner. On Jan. 20, the popular Twitter account @UberFacts wrote: “25% of Americans believe God decides the winner of the Super Bowl.”That’s an intriguing claim and, as it turns, one with a significant basis in fact. A spokesperson for PRRI confirmed for Snopes that the “God decides results” proposal hadn’t been included in surveys since 2017.
