well, assuming that you were probably born into a particular faith, you can claim that as your "religion." If your parents were not affiliated with any faith, then you get to chose whichever one you feel most comfortable with, or a reasonably close facsimile. If you have no chosen faith, and were not born into any faith, but feel there may be some sort of higher power guiding your life, then you are perhaps "spiritual." And, if you feel that there may be a higher power, and it is important to be as good to others as you wish them to be to you, then you could say your religion is "humanism."

Religion can be defined broadly as a belief in God, while other may define it as which denomination (Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran...etc) that you may be. It depends on your definition of what religion is. If it is the denomination, or the church that you belong to, after a while the church may take you off the rolls if you don't attend. I will go with the first definition which is simply having a belief in God and living your life for Him..
I have seen Sunday Christians that go to church, but after church is another story and I have seen Christians that don't go to church and live every day for God. It is up to you how you want to reflect your love of God.
You still can believe in God, and not go to church. However, I have found that my belief strenghens when I worship with others.

Believing in GOD and having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is what saves you not Church attendance or membership.
I do, however, recommend attending Church as it offers you an opportunity to have fellowship with those of like beliefs. It also offers you guidance in the Word of God.

Yes. Depending on which God shows what religion you are. It doesn't matter if you go to church or not.

At the moment, keep on believing in The ONE True Eternal GOD The Creator, and strive in finding and practising His true religion, and God-willing you'll be safe.
God knows best
Peace and Love

The important thing is that you believe,no matter what! If you believe in God that is what matters,not do you go to church or not
(very nice question,made me think)

Yes, whether or not you go to church has nothing to do with it. Believing in and having faith in God is all that matters.

Its not about "religion", its about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Its having Him as your personal Lord and Saviour...
Remember, its doesn't matter that you believe in God. You have to live your life FOR Him. Satan himself "believes" in God, but that doesnt make him a christian, right?

Yes!
THE CHURCH - is in reality THE BODY OF BELIEVERS.
Not a building as such.
