Like I said, if he's gay or not, Christian or not, he's, to me, a good man. I've never seen him say something aggressive or mean-spirited and he's always been a sportsman.
That's why I have sympathy for him. There are so many kids in the U. S., especially the South, who are raised in religiously rigid homes where they are taught that they must obey a strict moral code or burn in hell for all eternity. Many of them wind up committing suicide because they can't reconcile their learned lives with whom they are inside.
Speculation is rampant about Tebow, just as it is about most public personalities. It's sad that anyone, especially someone who has his natural talents has to subjugate his natural feelings.

I was actually raised in very similar circumstances but my mother wasn't the fire and brimstone type. She knows I don't believe know and she doesn't say anything about hell -- in fact she takes the Asimov approach and doesn't actually believe it exists.
That aside, I had thought he was a -long- time ago. Not specifically because of his religiosity, but if you play game theory there's a damn good chance.
I think it'll be a late-life admission, but I do believe one is coming.
