    I rarely hear folks thanking God for their talents. What I do hear, is people thanking God for their victories – as if by their win, God has ignored the entreaties of the vanquished in the competition. There is a big difference between praising God and selfishly invoking His name for one’s own ends.

By the same token, Kimmel’s attempt to pre-emptively stop anyone from thanking God was a callous comment regarding religion. Essentially saying “God doesn’t care” is a denigration of the individual’s faith.
