How is Christianity a religion?

[marcusk]

Please, enlighten me. I fellowship with other Christians, talk to my friends about my beliefs, ONLY WHEN APPROPRIATE, not door to door ritually (some need to take note). I don't worship Kraft the cheese god statue and praise idols etc. I don't ask for money all the time. I don't believe everyone has to be predestined to go to heaven. I'm in a non-denominational church.

I try to be like Jesus. I try my best to obey his law. I repent of my sins. I think everyone should know my boy Jesus. How's that religion? It's not, so why does Christianity get labeled as a religion when that's not what it is? It's simply a belief based on faith.

True religion is neither rules-based nor ritual-based.

Religion is a set of beliefs about a god or gods.

Tell me how it isn't a religion?

[Seth]

I don't consider Christianity a religion. I consider it a personal relationship with God himself.

Christianity is not a religion , it is a reality.
