For example, you put yourself through university by studying hard and working full time. Then someone says, you should thank god for giving you the strength. Like wtf do you mean, I busted my ass day in and day out but I'm supposed to thank god for it?

I think this is far more normalized in the US to bring god into everything.

Not at all. I work with a lot of immigrants and wherever religion is heavily involved in the culture they come from, god or gods always get the credit. Jesus, Yahweh, Allah, Ganesha, Buddha, Holy Spirit, it doesn't matter. It's all the same different rules.

It happens with any people that are heavily bound to religious practices, routines and rituals. Some places are much less religious than others, but that's been my experience working with about a a hundred different people that aren't from where I was born
