What gave you the idea that the christian religion is easy. Yeah there is the go to church once a week, but there is so much more than that. If a Christian is trying to live his/her life the way they should they will be praying all day long throughout the day. That's just the start.

In what way is my constant studying of my own religion and others, volunteering for charitable projects, working on social justice projects, working with the church music, doing home repair for the less fortunate, helping with services multiple times per week, keeping church supplies available to the clergy, sorting through donations for usable materials to give to the less fortunate, cooking food for the hungry, helping with disaster relief, visiting the sick, and all the other things that I do with my church laziness? Hardly a day goes by that I'm not called upon to do something for my faith. There is far more to Christianity than passively sitting in a pew.

I dont even have to GO to church, and Im a christian. I AM the church, which is His Body. Whereever I go, the church goes.
We are "created IN Christ Jesus UNTO good works, which God has prepared for us beforehand, that we might walk in them".
Plenty to do as a believer. We dont DO anything to GET a relationship with God. He has done ALL that is necessary to secure our relationship with Him, and He did it on a CROSS by dying, being buried and rising from the dead.
Christianity isnt a "religion"...Its the reality of a LIVING God and becoming a part of HIS BODY today.

Your question is amazingly humurous noticeably the sentence "or strapping a bomb on your chest and blowing your self up". we are able to added upload, some religions require all varieties of complicated initiatives... want to reproduce like rats and alter the demography so as that their places of worship arise in each single place, to create disturbances for others, or to shout 5 circumstances an afternoon etc.

Yes, I really admire the discipline and devotion in Islam.
However, true Christianity involves a great deal of self-discipline... a lot more than just going to church once a week:
James 1:22 - http://scriptures.lds.org/en/james/1/22#22
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 2: 20, 26 - http://scriptures.lds.org/en/james/2/20,26#20
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Going to church every week is not going to save anyone. Lazy people are deceiving themselves, just like in the parable of the ten virgins... five were wise, and five were foolish. (See Matthew 25:1-13 - http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/25/1-13#1 )
The oil of our lamps is faith, shown BY our works (as it says in James 2).
Some Christians may think they are saved the instant they say, "Jesus is Lord," but the Muslims have more truth than they. In fact, Wiccans are closer to truth than "born agains" who exercise no self-discipline, nor "faith in action".
Laziness doesn't work... not in Christianity, nor in any kind of spiritual path.

No, lazy people hang out on yahoo all day Sunday and don't even put forth the effort to go to church once a week.

I pray all day, every day, I help with foster children and any other outreaches the local church can do.
Being a Christian is reserved only for the strong of will.

Unless being a Christian is actually much more involved. For instance, Dallas Willard's book "Spirit of the Disciplines" advocates for a Christianity that is much more intentional and involved.

Religion (any denomination) is a lazy way of looking at the world.
