That’s a situation that existed when the respective clubs were formed one hundred plus years ago, most clubs and sporting associations having religious affiliations then.
If you were to bring up this topic with any Liverpool or Everton fans now, I for one would look on you as some sort of crettin or dinosaur. Religious affiliations have become almost irrelevant in gereral in Liverpool, particularly so over the past twenty years.
Our Liverpool based contributors will remember the lodge marching around the city on a regular basis, I know attitudes have changes since then and I for one think that we have all grown up a little since that era.
In answer to the original question, religion has nothing at all to do with football in my city!
