Many of them make appearance (in some cases paid appearances) to talk to religious groups.
There was a story in the news recently about a former pro football player who Tweeted his support for the gay basketball player and because of it a religious group that was going to pay him $8,000 to come speak to them canceled his appearance.
A few years ago Tim Tebow and his mom had a pro-life commercial air during the Super Bowl.
While they may not hold press conferences to talk about their religion there are many of them who are not shy about sharing their religious views during interviews about the game and there are many who are involved in sometimes high profile religious events.
