Public resource. How do religions feature in sports today? On Adam North's Going Beyond Belief page on Sports and Religion, he explores commonalities between religion and sport, including rituals, communal traditions, leaders and role models, and a quest for transcendence. He asks questions such as can sports change the world for the better, and should we be critical of professional sports? This page, aimed at RS A-level students, is based on Adam’s PhD research and it is complementary to Radio 4’s Beyond Belief programme on the Olympics. This page could form the basis of an A-Level EPQ or it might be the kind of thing that inspires A-Level students to take their studies further after college or school!
