But in the case of the example you described, is the belief driven by the fear that if they steal they will go to hell? Is that the main reason for not stealing and killing?

I agree. I always wonder why an athlete would think God would bless them with the ability to beat another person? Or why would God even get involved in sports when people all over the world are suffering.
Not sure if it's heaven or hell or an after life but something about the repercussions of their bad actions seem to scare the shit out of them.
