Who’s Afraid of Sacred Soccer?

By Gary Laderman

…sm. Hell, forget the Rastafarians. The most fascinating subgroup on the religious landscape at the moment is… soccer fanatics. Catholics are upset about a recent Hyundi commercial that focuses on The Church of the Maradona in Argentina, named for their revered football star (the video has been pulled); a recent, heartfelt post in the Washington Post’s online “On Faith” section compared the inspired leadership of soccer and religion in glowing term…

Think Yoga is a Religion? Try Youth Soccer!

By Joanna Brooks

…broaden American awareness of Hinduism and its impacts on the history of civilization, including the manifold varieties of yoga now practiced by millions of Americans. Here at RD, we’ve already covered the charge made by Southern Baptist theologians that yoga and Christianity do not mix. But is yoga really a religion? Not according to my guru. Full disclosure: I am twice-weekly practitioner of Bikram Yoga, the infamous 26-posture, 90-minute, 105-…

“Those Federer Moments”: Sports, Sex, and the Gender of Grace

By Franklin Strong

…er Wallace suggests that one reason we watch sports is to experience a specific kind of beauty: The human beauty we’re talking about here is beauty of a particular type; it might be called kinetic beauty. Its power and appeal are universal. It has nothing to do with sex or cultural norms. What it seems to have to do with, really, is a human beings’ reconciliation with the fact of having a body. He continues in a footnote: There’s a great deal that…

Soccer and the Sublime in the Shadow of Apartheid

By Preston Davis

…nd them by speaking endlessly of the World Cup as the most momentous of religious events. The World Cup in its pure state is not much different from the theologizing of Christmas; it is artistry embodied in flesh—a kind of divine incarnation. When one watches a highlight reel of Brazilian soccer hero Ronaldinho, words fall short but grace permeates. I think to myself, “now that’s what it means to operate out of freedom.” It’s like watching every d…

Brigham Young University topped the most religious schools and Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont ranked at the bottom.

Pagan Soccer Mom Wins Blog Contest Despite “Biblical Womanhood” Opposition

By Julie Ingersoll

…ues). But it’s a safe bet this community didn’t expect a “best blog” competition to devolve into a witch hunt—literally. The “Faith Blog” category seemed dominated by homeschooling, “Biblical Womanhood,” “Biblical Patriarchy,” and so-called family values moms, and who apparently thought they own the category of faith (though Circle of Moms doesn’t exhibit any signs of being explicitly religious). It turns out that someone in the community of Pagan…

London Calling: “Our Great War Is a Spiritual War”

By Elizabeth Drescher

This week I learned that Manchester United, the rough and tumble British footballers, have a Facebook page that ranks in the top five for social engagement—alongside Jesus Daily (conservative Christian powerhouse), Justin Bieber (pious teen idol), and The Bible (“by the greatest author of all time, God”). There’s undoubtedly much to say about the conservative Christian spin of Facebook engagement and the attendant challenges to interactive digita…

Pat Robertson’s Women Warriors Leading Spiritual Warfare In Zimbabwe

By Sarah Posner

…t, one by one, about a dozen people watch, pray, and lay on hands. As she finishes each one, Bourland, a cheerful, chatty, 49-year-old real estate broker and grandmother, wipes the feet dry and kisses them. At the heart of this women’s conference is the concept of “spiritual warfare,” the idea that God has anointed his “generals” to defeat Satan and bring the world to Christ. During this pre-conference prayer session, the group prays for a “mega-b…

They are all members or supporters of Soulforce, an organization that aims to change the hearts of those who use religion to justify discrimination against sexual minorities. Most of the 20-somethings in the crowd are participa…
