Well composed and it's definitely a "religion" to some.

I find this pic pretty far off topic. I can understand the idea that some people consider sports "holy", but that concept hasn't been captured in this pic, IMHO.

Good photo with a good DOF. Some might not think it fits the challenge.

Very well done. I particularly like how the sun glint draws the eye to the gold lettering, which contrasts perfectly with the deep blue sky. BTW, if it's scoring way low right now because people don't think it fits the challenge, just to prove that not all DPCers are hopelessly boring literalists, I'm giving you a 10!
