Does God need a religion? he's God! But seriously, what you are really asking is which religion is the right one. There is no clear answer to this, there are obvioiusly some that aren't so great, but most religions are pretty good and try to get people to act a bit better than they might. I think the right religion is to just thave a relgion and believe in God. Other than that, besides not doing anything wrong, I think anyone can believe what they want as long as they know God in their minds, hearts and souls.

None and all -- anything and everythnig can be used to get a direct experience of truth/god and things can also be used to avoid the experience. When religions are treated as tools (and not ultimate truth) to get to the ultimate experience, then the religion serves our purpose. If the religion is treated as an end in and of itself (as if its concepts and beliefs are truth and faith in that virtual reality is the focus) then we lose the point of religion and it becomes a detour from the real God. When we focus on god being an ego/person (e.g. believing that sin, guilt, hell, punishment, reward, judgment, saved vs. unsaved, are all real) then religion is, again, being misused.

God is not into religions. He is interested in a relationship. God doesn't belong to any belief system, he has his own. That is why he sent his son Jesus. Unfortunately, even with Christianity we shove our belief systems as a bunch of do's and don'ts. Read John 1 - the whole chapter. In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God in the beginning. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us... God doesn't want us to follow a religion or a man made religion, he wants us to follow him. The whole Bible is all about following God with your whole heart and not become a religious freak or a legalist individual. But to be a humble, kind-hearted, and merciful person.

Are you nuts? Sorry if that offended you, but really - you are, aren't you? The word "religion" refers to the worship of God, the belief in a higher power, and a devotion to your Lord. He is God. Who would He worship? Do you think He holds church services to worship and praise Himself? If so, would He be the pastor or the congregation? Does He have to be the choir too?

Psalm 29:2 says "Praise the Lord for the glory of His name; worship the Lord because He is holy." Worship is the response of a heart in love with the Lord. The church that worships the Lord with all their heart and all the mind and all their soul is the church where the Lord will be present. It doesn't matter what the denomination of the church may be, as long as that church worships the Lord as described in the Bible.

God doesn't have a religion, only people do. Religion is humanity's attempt to make sense of the mystery of God. Some religions make good attempts, others not-so-good.

For Starters read Mosiah Ch. 27.

Or Mosiah Ch. 18 vs 17 And they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ, from that time forward. And it came to pass that whosoever was baptized by the power and authority of God was added to his church.

I would have to agree with pinkadot above here. The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would be the true church. I can't remember the reference but somewhere in the bible it States that Christ REMOVED his TRUE gospel from the earth until a later date. So any religion that claims to be from the ancient time period of jesus can't be true

Most religions are nothing more than ritual. The Bible says that true religion involves two things: loving God and loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Jesus didn't think any of the religious were worth much while He was on earth. In fact, as you read the Gospels, you'll notice that he was the roughest on those who were religious. Since Jesus is, present tense, that attitude would still apply today. Jesus does not subscribe to nor does He promote any religion.

But, He does ask you to believe Him and if you do, He will shape your spiritual reality.

I think you are confused with your question, as you are attempting to answer the question within the question. No religion is the correct one, and all religions have got it wrong.

There are many major religions in the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, and so on. Within each major religion there can also be many minor religions. For example, within Christianity there is Catholic, Protestant, Anglican and so on. Within Islam there is Shiite, Sunni etc.

In summary there are many hundreds of different religions in the world all with their devoted believers and followers. Talk to any devout religious person and they will almost emphatically insist that their religion is the right one, it’s fact, and any non-believer is doomed.

Commonsense and logic would suggest that if there was any truthful or factual basis to religion, then only one of these religions could be correct, not all of them. However, in my view, it’s highly unlikely that any of these man-made religions bear any resemblance to fact or the truth, and are more likely to be the result of simplistic human intelligence looking for an escape from reality.

God is just another fake creation by man.

Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.

Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.

Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

Religion is only a word describing a collection of rituals of worship. None are of God.
