One Issue I Have With Religion

I am curious if others feel the same way as me, but when someone tells me that I have "God given talent" or I was "blessed by God" I get a little offended. Not to the point that I would yell at someone, but that I would tell them that I actually worked my butt off to get where I am.
I don't like having my success undermined by God. What are your thoughts?

It goes back to the same thing when they thank God for curing their cancer, but don't blame him for giving it to them in the first place...
