I don't embrace religion.I am an Atheist and thus, by definition, do not belong to a church or subscribe to a belief in nor have reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe, which is what religion is defined as.

I'm a Pentecostal Christian.
Basic doctrines
There is one God, eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
The Bible is God's only inspired, written, Word to mankind - trustworthy, authoritative, and infallible.
The work of redemption by Jesus Christ - His virgin birth, atoning death, burial, and resurrection - is complete and prefect. Salvation (new birth) must be preceded by sincere repentance toward God and faith in Christ as risen Savior and Lord.
Water Baptism by immersion is mandatory for all who have been cleansed by the blood of Christ, and provides a further work of grace in the believer's life. It must be administered by a spirit filled minister in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, is the promise of the Father for all of His children. Only through the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit can the believer live a life of true holiness and victory over the flesh, the world, and the devil.
Jesus Christ is coming back soon for a "glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle". Only those who are thus prepared, those who ardently love His appearing, will be caught up to reign with Him as His Bride.
There will be a resurrection of the just and the unjust - the one to eternal life, other to eternal damnation.
Further, they do not believe in wearing jewellery, and encourage divine healing rather than depending on medicine. The full time workers in in the church would generally believe this to the point of not going to hospitals or doctors. They do not encourage watching television or visiting the cinemas. They believe that their rules and regulations prevent the believer from being trapped in the world. They preach and teach separation from the world, to prepare themselves for the Second_Coming.

I love God with all my heart and Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
I read the Bible everyday and think about God almost every minute of my life because He is alive in me through the Holy Spirit and I love Him so much.
But I don't believe in Religion of any kind.
I believe that Religion is man made beliefs and tradition and is mans attempt at getting right with God.
We don't need Religion to be a Child of God because Jesus already did everything we need to accomplish this.
All we need is Jesus and only through Him can we be saved and approach God with confidence.
I have a deep personal relational with my Father in Heaven and I won't let Religion take that away from me and force me to worship it instead of my Father.

I have my religion but I follow the path that Jesus have been telling us all along within the corrupted versions of the Bibles. Jesus guided and leads me, out of this religion that baptized me without my consent.
In any way, I would still thank and be glad of the life I have gone through and making me of who I am as who I am today. Thank be to Jesus for leading me to the ways of God!

I do not have a religion at all. Instead I am what they call a born again Christian, a follower of Jesus. We born again believers do not follow any kind of organized religion.

..."religion" is mans attempt to reach God... God was smart enough to know that "we" couldn't accomplish that... God made a Way to reach Him... Consider reading the Book of John to gain an understanding of how to do that...
(I follow the teachings of a young Hebrew Carpenter who specializes in "home-improvement")... I let the "religious" chase their tails...
