Your correct. Because of the mathematical nature of my thoughts, I like to start with definitions. Unfortunately, the nature of forums such as this don't make that easy.
The common definition of religion is a set of laws, practices, and ceremonies created as a path to bridge the gap between man and the divine.
When Jesus died on the cross and was risen three days later, He became that Path. Through our relationship with Jesus, when we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, we become adopted children of GOD. Jesus is our religion.
Because we are supposed to be loving children, we should want to be like our Father and do what He wants. What He wants is pretty simple.
Be holy because He is Holy. Stand bravely for truth and justice.
Spend time in prayer and feed on the Word of GOD.
Gather together in the Name of Jesus. Celebrate the Last Supper as a remembrance. Lift each other up.
Be a light in the darkness bearing witness of the Good News to the lost.
