I don't think that, just because she is an entertainer, she can't be referring to a real problem here; IE the confusion between God as a representation of what is morally right, and God as a representation of what is in someone's personal best interests.

It doesn't seem like such a big deal at the "let's win this football game" level, but when you get up to the "let's start a bloody, devastating war over it" level, it does become a problem for all of us, believers or otherwise. Maybe learning to flip the TV channel is a best first step, before we escalate to genocide, conquest, etc.
