Megan Rapinoe has reminded the world how much she dislikes Christians. 

In an interview with podcaster Pablo Torre, Rapinoe discussed the Achilles injury that ended her career and the fact she once said that it was "proof" that God does not exist: 

"I didn't even realize it was that big of a thing because I don't get into my comments like that," she said. "I don't even use Twitter anymore but then I started hearing about it from lots of different people."

Megan Rapinoe says the fact that she was injured six minutes into her last soccer match is proof God doesn't exist.

The former U.S. women's soccer team captain added that there was a "special place in hell" for those who celebrated her injury.

"It's life," she explained. "We want these perfect stories and I'm like a controversial figure and having people low-key celebrate it but then also be so disingenuous about it that that part is kind of funny, too. I'm like, wow. You guys are in a special place in hell that you're celebrating this. I'm not going to that hell."

She continued:

I have talked very openly about my belief, or lack of belief rather, in God and I feel like that's normal. All of the other signals that I see from athletes [are] talking about their particular station of faith in life so why can't I talk about my particular station? Obviously, I'm doing that purposely and I'm not literally saying that but I always found it important for me to at least say that. I'm not going to dance around it. Sports and faith are so intertwined in this really bizarre way that does always have to do with, 'God was looking out for us tonight because we won.' It's a whole thing.

Rapinoe then took a direct pop at Christians by saying that someone needs to "check in" on their welfare. 

"Someone needs to check in on the Christians, they're not okay," she continued. "They also missed the whole joke."

Of course, Rapinoe's views go way beyond mere criticism of Christianity. One of her most public campaigns has been around the supposed issue of equal pay in women's sports, which actually means paying the men who generate most of the revenue less in order to pay the women more.

She has also openly advocated for the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports. Last year, she signed her name to a letter in opposition to the “Protection of Girls and Women in Sports” Act, which would have prevented biological men from competing in female sports.
