personally i think it should be a personal belief.
organized group religion can become very superficial.
religion shouldn't be between you and a bunch of people you are trying to impress.
it should be between you and your god
at my old church people were more worried about what car the others were driving or who was sleeping with whom. kids played in the pewswhen the the preacher talked and no one really seemed to appreciate what we were there for. shortly thereafter i became nondenominational.

yes it should be just a personal belief when you get into group worship people start trying to force it on others and then it becomes nothing more than a cult where a few have power under the guise of religion.

Faith is a personal belief. Religion is based on group worship.

Yes Jesus urges a personal relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit: the Holy Spirit brings into more knowledge of Jesus and the relationship of Christ gets you to God, now tell me what does religion get you closer to, all it does is separate people from people and from God so what good is religion except for wars and hatred. God said to assemble yourselves together to lift one another up in the site of the Lord and to encourage one another to get closer to the Lord even the more as you see the end coming.

There's the worship requirement that at least two be present . .. gathered in the name of JESUS CHRIST . .. then JESUS will be among them . ..
Further Sacred Tradition dictates that worship services be administered by those who've been ordained by the Sacrement of HOLY Orders, a priest.
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

There is strength in numbers. To battle Jesus's enemies we need large armies of fellow worshipers.

Religion is personal belief.
Religion is about you what you really believe in not what you friends or people around you believe.

In office meetings, we often say that the number of meeting participants is inversely proportional to the collective IQ of the room.
