Default Why are Americans so religious?

I don't understand how Americans have come to be such bible thumping freaks. I just read this story about a dude who lost his $25,000 lottery ticket and all of a sudden it was about religion.

He says, ""I was thinking that God just took it out of my hand."
When I read this I thought it was a somewhat normal thing to say. I mean how else do you lose a $25,000 ticket. But then quickly I realized this guy actually thought that "God" did this.

Then I learned how retarded the guy was.
'He even called 911 and asked firefighters to shine lights on the search area.'

But his last line is what really made me pissed off/humored.
"I think God was telling me ... that I need to be dependent on Him and not on lotteries and jobs and anything else."

Sort your life out buddy. Be dependent on yourself. Don't be dependent on God or lotto.

I don't know how Americans got to be this way. Why didn't Canadians become bible-thumping retards?
