I have no idea, but even a secular sports writer recognises that they are not one and the same (my emphasis):

This is not simply about Tebow’s play, this is personal.

And even if he ends up being the worst quarterback in the history of quarterbacks, why are we OK with turning his Christianity into a punch line? If Tebow were a devout Muslim, would we snark about tenets of his religion? Or if he were Jewish? Or Buddhist? Or atheist? Or Espicopalian?

Maybe, but those cracks would be flagged by the PC crowd almost immediately. Christianity is fair game.

Is it just my imagination, or is the bold sentence a list religions in the order of the strength of their belief in an omnipotent, supernatural, omniscient God? Descending order.
