I did not say that we did not have a relationship, I said that all religions, are, at their core, relationships as well. The relationship between the God of Christianity and Christians is quite different than the relationship between the gods of other religions and their followers.

Religion had helped many people (myself included) to focus their minds on God. I feel God's presence more completely in Church, especially during a service. Religion is meant to help us in our relationship with God. They are not mutually exclusive terms.

Sorry if it seems like I'm being contrarian, but give me a break- I'm a teenager
