The purpose of this essay is to explore how the supportership of six different soccer supporters can relate to the French sociologist Émile Durkheim's view of religion. Statistics show how students with a non-religious background tend to be less interested in religious education than students with a religious background. The purpose is therefore also to see if it is possible to compare the supportership around football with a religious practice, that could be used as an interesting and alternative definition of religion in religious studies education. Research has shown that links between football and religion could be made in relation to European clubs and that groups in general tend to engage in ritual acts to maintain community. Six supporters who are supporters of a club in Sweden's highest and second highest divisions were interviewed. The essay used Émile Durkheim's view of religion as a theoretical frame of reference. Four themes that variously capture Durkheim's view of religion were formulated. These themes were used to analyze and categorize the supporters' stories. The result shows that the supporter's relationship to the club and to the other supporter around the club is both significant and strong and can be compared to Durkheim's view of religious practice. The result has the potential to be used in religious education, to open alternative ways of looking at religion or as a basis for discussion.
