What you have here is a gross over simplification.
I don't think what most people do when they find $100 is to pocket it. A large percentage of people look for the owner if it looks at all possible to identity them. I just recently had confirmation of that. I left my purse in the front basket of the grocery cart and drove off without it. There was almost a $100.00 in it not to mention credit cards, etc. Returning panicked a half hour later I found it at customer service.
I do know Christians that attribute everything "lucky" that happens to them to god. I may know some that attribute winning as not only being in favor with god, but that other loser being sinful. But they're few and far between. I also know some atheists who behave as is "karma" was a law of the universe in a way that sounds just like the Christian and his miracle.
People do some pretty foul things in the name of religion. But not most people.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
