I think a Christian should be able to Represent Christ- no, nobody is perfect.. but be Christlike.
For example, a woman wearing booty shorts, smoking cigarettes, and make-up like a clown, yes she could be a christian, who am I to judge? BUT is she truly representing Christlike Behavior?
The Religious folks are just the know it alls who go to church on Sundays and act like the devil the rest of the week.

By religion I assume you mean a certain denomination within Christianity. If a Christian feels that practicing within a certain denomination helps them live better as a Christian and brings them closer to God then Yes. If they don't think it does, then no it is not necessary not practice a certain "religon" . The same goes for anyone if Judism, Islam, Bhuddhism etc brings you a closer spiritual connection then any other religion or denomination that that is what you should practice.

Yes and no. Depending on what you want me to be religious in. Can I be religious about going out and fellowship? Yes. Is it a replacement or substitute for anything in my relationship with God? No. Can I be religious about washing my hands? IS it bad or good? Neutral?

Answer: Too many definitions and common usage of "religious". I prefer "faithful". Should a Christian be faithful? Yes.

Being a christian means that you believe that Jesus came from Heaven down to earth to save us from our sins, so we could spend eternity with God. when you are a christian, you should love God and want to have a relationship with him, and so you would want to go to church, read the bible, etc.

Yes, but what religious is depends on each one of us. We should attend services (mass), pray, study scripture, and support those who need it. But how and when we do those things is very personal.

No.That entails emphasis on rote and ceremony.It is the relationship that counts not the ritual.

No...religion=rules and that is what Christ was fighting against.
Faith=relationship and that is what he was preaching about.
