That's one of the misunderstandings right there, you said you're not religious. I am a Christian and I am not religious either. This often confuses people, but the simple answer is Jesus was probably the most anti-religious person who ever lived. So much so, they killed him for it.

Religion is mans attempt to reconcile himself to God. Jesus refutes this by stating HE is the ONLY way to God.

If you are truly anti-religion then Jesus and his teachings may shock you. He took a stand against every religious tradition of his day. This is what Jesus had to say about the religious leaders of his day ...

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Wonder why they plotted to kill him?

Jesus further states ..."Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Lord Lord? So they are obviously religious people who are calling him Lord. Yet Jesus says they won't get into heaven? Anyway don't mean to jump on into an Atheist post, but you know us Christians, always got to beat someone over the head with a Bible when we get the chance :P
