I completely disagree- many "religions are idol worship- their is no relationship with dead stone. Some are demonic these may be a twisted, sick mockery of a relationship.

The relationship between the God of Christianity and Christians is quite different than the relationship between the gods of other religions and their followers.
Indeed.

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.

Biblical religion as described in the bible is service to others in the love of God.
Many church services are directed by the Holy Spirit and not a formula.


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