|Through Day 3 (July 30), atheistic Great Britain had won 0 gold medals despite having all the advantages of being the host nation. China, an officially atheist and communist country, leads the standings with 12 gold medals.
|In women's soccer, heavy favorites Great Britain struggled early but narrowly beat New Zealand 1-0 in their first game. Meanwhile, France blew an early 2-0 lead and lost 4-2 to the United States. In the second group stage game, Great Britain easily beat Cameroon, although that was expected. More shockingly, France defeated North Korea 5-0, in blowout fashion. However, there is no organized religion in North Korea, either. They are not on the "increasingly atheistic" list because this has been the case for decades.

On the men's side, Great Britain, who was heavily favored to win their first game against [[Senegal]] shockingly had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Uruguay is currently in first place in that group thanks to their win over [[United Arab Emirates]] earlier in the day. Great Britain and Senegal are tied for second. The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout quarterfinal stage.
