I know what Jesus thought about Religious People he knew they liked Ceremonies and Laws. So he said . in James 1:27 Pure Religion undefiled before God The Father is this. Visit the Fatherless and Widows in their Affliction, to keep him self unspotted from the World. He did not say Tithe-Go to a certain building to worship-Eat certain Foods -or worship on a certain day. this is the worlds kind of religion not God's.

There are many religions. There is only one Christ. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man comes to the Father except by Me." Christians are taught that we have all sinned [been disobedient in some way] and we need to be restored to a relationship with the God who created us. Jesus is the go-between. He sacrificed His life for ours. To come to Him we must admit that we have sinned and need salvation. Christianity is about faith in Jesus Christ.It is not a religion but a relationship with the "one true thin." Jesus said "I am the Truth."

There are literally thousands of religions around the world. It is the practice of acknowledging any unearthly or supernatural being as creator or govenor of the universe. Christianity deals strictly with Jesus Christ.

Christianity is a collection of closely associated religions (Catholics, Baptists, etc). But you probably think that "Christianity" isn't a religion because you think it's 'True' while "Religion" does not need to be. If so, you are wrong.

Religion is what a person believes whatever it is. Christianity is the work of Christ reconciling sinners to Himself by His perfect life, sacrifice, and Holy Spirit

As you call yourself "Christian", the answer is probably: "Christianity is the only true religion", or something to that extent.
"The believer is not free to have any conscience at all for questions of "true" and "untrue": to have integrity on *this* point would at once destroy him."
[Nietzsche, The Antichristian, section 54.]

Religion is man made, organized church.
Christianity are followers of Jesus Christ. The REAL Chrisitian is the least likely to judge anyone.

This is why:
Virgin Birth - Was it a preconceived notion?
What is the Imacculate Conception?
An Imacculate Deception?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
