Definitions of religion on the Web:

a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality"
www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn

institution to express belief in a divine power; "he was raised in the Baptist religion"; "a member of his own faith contradicted him"
www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn

a subjective relationship to certain metaphysical, extramundane factors. A kind of experience accorded the highest value, regardless of its contents. The essence is the person's relationship to God or salvation. Jung called them psychotherapeutic systems and believed they contained, offered a gradiant for, and transformed instinctual (hence asceticism), nonpersonal energies, giving people a cultural counterpole to blind instinct, help through difficult transitional stages, and a sense of meaning. They also help separate the growing person from his parents. For Jung, the unconscious had a religious function, and religion rests on an instinctive basis. Different from creeds, which are codified and dogmatized versions of a religious experience. Creeds usually say they have THE truth and are a collective belief. For Jung, no contradiction existed between faith and knowledge because science has nothing to say about metaphysical events, and beliefs are psychological facts that need no proof.

(generic definition of): A means of getting in touch with and of attaining at-onement with "ultimate reality." In slightly different words, a religion is a system of symbols (e.g., words and gestures, stories and practices, objects and places) that functions religiously, namely, an ongoing system of symbols that participants use to draw near to, and come into right or appropriate relationship with, what they deem to be ultimate reality.

belief in supernatural or divine power that invites expression in conduct and often involving ethics and a philosophy (or a specific system of such belief and conduct)
www.teachingaboutreligion.org/MiniCourse/glossary.htm

The adoration and service of God as expressed in divine worship and in daily life. Religion is concerned with all of the relations existing between God and human beings, and between humans themselves because of the central significance of God. Objectively considered, religion consists of a body of truth which is believed, a code of morality for the guidance of conduct, and a form of divine worship. Subjectively, it is a person’s total response, theoretically and practically, to the demands of faith; it is living faith, personal engagement, self-commitment to God. Thus, by creed, code and cult, a person orders and directs his or her life in reference to God and, through what the love and service of God implies, to all people and all things.

Definitions of Football on the Web:

name for soccer everywhere except in the U.S.; also, what American's call their popular team sport which evolved from soccer and rugby.
www.firstbasesports.com/glossaries/scrgl.htm

A game played with a ball on a rectangular field, 100 yards in length, with goal lines and goal posts at either end. Opposing teams of 11 players each attempt to gain possession of the ball and advance it by means of running and passing plays across the opponent's goal line. A team doing so scores a touchdown, worth six points, and then has the opportunity to kick the ball over the goalpost crossbar for one extra point. A field goal -- a kick over the crossbar other than when after a touchdown - counts three points. See line of scrimmage, down, forward pass kickoff field goal, safety, touchback, touchdown, point after touchdown.

so, any level of similarity?

by **zarababe** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 11:21 am

wow u've been busy Annie

Of course it's not a religion in those terms.. but it certainly arouses passions and dedication like no other for many .. as we have ssen form the responses... Ultimately it will not deliver spiritual salavation ... but most certainly soothes the soul.. on a good day

by **LFC #1** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 11:51 am

look at Leon's post with the dictionary definition ,and you will find football has cenrtian elements synonomous with a religion, but lacks the supernatural side of things and having one god who is worshipped by all.

.. which is fundamental Scott..

it's tribalism.. alive and kinkin

me and a few friends were having a chat the other day as to why we love football so much and why we get so high or low about our teams .

I think we do take football as a religion or like even before we had a set religion in the uk we had loads of kings all over the uk going to war with each other and now that has just turned into a football match.
a 1000 years ago towns would send the men off o go to war in the south or noth of the uk and the women would dress up in the same colours as the men from that town had on when the left and would still wear them till the men got back.
