What is false religion?
Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.
False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?
False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul or spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?
False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?
How to identify true religion.
True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.
True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible
True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”
True Religion is available, search for it.

False religion is any religion that denies the Deity of Christ, that teaches salvation by any other means than by grace through faith. False religions teach a works salvation or being able to gain salvation. False religion also includes those who add to the bible, take away from the bible, change the bible, teach that the bible cannot be understood without their literature and books, the bible plus their literature or books. False religion includes those that were started by some false prophet and their visions and dreams. They believe the teachings and traditions of their church is needed or has to added for salvation. The sad thing about false religions is that they don't know they are false. They don't know they are of the spirit of error which is from the devil. They really believe they are of the truth and know the truth. That's the deception and many people are greatly deceived and are a part of these religions. These people are on the broad road to destruction that will end in eternal damnation and it will be their own fault because God says no one will have an excuse.
The bottom line is false religions make the Word of God null and void, and call God a liar, though they believe otherwise.

A false religion is a religion that does not agree with the person who calls it a false religion.

A religion that isnt true from the Living God. Any religion that takes away from the Bible, or adds to it. Any religion that believes in Jesus but adds to his work. As though he didnt do enough.

Like a cult. Someone making up a religion out of the blue for their own purposes.

That would be those religions and denominations that have moved away from the true Church of Jesus Christ which He established in 33 AD and placed into Peter's hands to lead. They preach their own bible and word and not the word of Christ that He handed down to the Apostles. Jesus true Church has been going strong for over 2000 years. They must also possess the 4 marks of the church. One,holy,catholic and apostolic

I think that essentially, all religions other than the Abrahamic religions are false religions.

A Christian or Muslim would answer: any religion but ours. Some churches would say: "the other churches that don't worship EXACTLY like we do."
For other religions it's not an issue as most say: whatever your path is good as long as it works for you.

As far as I'm concerned, all religions teach false ideologies. Of course, anyone who adheres to a religion will assert that theirs is the truth.
