Religions
Liverpool is a city of many communities and each community has its own faith, this makes for a lot of ‘churches’. Rubbing shoulders with people of other believes hardens attitudes and this has result in sectarianism in some areas of the city. Liverpool is highly unusual in boasting 2 cathedrals; one catholic and one Anglican. There is also a strong methodist community, many of whom have ‘signed the pledge’ and being abstinent are resistant to the games of the Zanders. The Caribbean community in Toxteth brought their spiritualism, Moving beyond the christian beliefs there is a massive Grade 1 listed Synagogue on Princes Road, with in sight of the Anglican Cathedral; a Hindu temple with in Edge Hill; Smaller communities of Sikh, Jain and Muslim also exist. As already discussed, the religions in Chinatown have been around long enough they have ‘leaked’ into the rest of the city. This gives plenty of opportunities for different ’true believers’ in the city to add flavour.

The Sacred Turf
There is another ‘faith’ common in the city that can not be ignored; the fanatical religion of football. Many of the terminology of religion has passed into the sport; stars are worshiped and adored; stadia are referred to as ‘Hallowed turf’; club supporters are described as ‘the faithful’. They even have their own ‘hymns’ for communal singing - though it may be several centuries yet before “Who ate all the pies?” appears on “songs of praise”.
