Tebowing

There are almost daily news reports about athletes an non-athletes "Tebowing". On the field, on the court, in the halls. Does this signal a resurgence of Christianity among US youth?

I think not. While there are undoubtedly many Christians who have added the Tebow move to their repertoire of religious gestures, most of the newbies who are drawing all the attention are doing it because it's COOL. A sports hero is doing it. Everyone is talking about it. I'll do it too. I want to belong. I would bet that if some new superstar saluted with the "sign of the horns", we would have an epedemic of that. How would the media and school administrators react to that?
