Judging by the number of St George flags you see at the moment and the number of prayers you hear during world cup matches, you could be forgiven for thinking so.
And if it is, then I'm still resolutely atheist.

No. It's a sport - anyone who raises it to the level of a religion needs their head read.

of course its their religion. religion is what you believe in. the English believe they will win every time they play a match.
until they play the Irish. then they start to question their belief.....and rightly so...YOU'LL NEVER BEAT THE IRISH

For some maybe, but I think what really unites the british is our worship of indian curry.

funny enough, my husband said his religion was football, until he met Jesus and gave his life to him instead.
