I can see a somewhat convincing argument that all religions are fandoms but not one for all fandoms being religions.
That reminds me of this guy’s analysis of the “Objects of Fandom.” (Namely, there has to be something quite good about it, and at the same time, something quite bad.) This applies to just about all religions in spades.
Semi-serious question: is there a difference between fandom and religion?

I don’t think fandom has supernatural practices/beliefs.
No. Will have expand on this sometime.
