In God We Trust America?

This morning I read that Mike Fisher, captain of the Nashville Preditors announced his retirement after 17 years in the NHL. His celebrity wife, Carrie Underwood posted on Facebook how proud she was of her husband and she was looking forward to what God had planned vfor him in the next phase of his life. One would expect positive responses of congratulations from followers. However, the very first response was from a fellow questioning what God had to do with it. This resulted in a thread of 36 responses back and forth both condemning Christians or supporting Carrie's right as a Christian to mention God, even if others don't believe in God. The fellow continued to bash Christians but also made some very leud remark which confirmed what kind of a digusting person he was. What surprised me though was how quickly a simple post turned into Christian bashing and the deep feelings of resentment towards God exists in America today. (Canada is probably even worse.) The second person to reply directly to Carrie's post said that Fisher was a lousy player, a mean and unfounded remark. That these people would take the time to reply and continue to answer to responses to their comments makes me wonder what scars they have in their lifes that would cause them to want to turn a nice social comment into something hurtful and negative. "In God we trust" may be on American currency, but overall, North Americans are far from trusting their maker.
