| Your statement is conditional in that it only applies to those who accept the Bible, specifically the New Testament, as a valid source for defining religion. Those of us who are not religious consider Christianity a religion just like all other religions.
Each religion is the ultimate truth to those who believe in it. Every other religion is false to those who accept another religion as valid.
Religious belief is exclusionary. It's all about defining who belongs to "our" group and who doesn't, like most clubs and membership-based organizations. Those who belong gain the benefits reserved for members in addition to getting to feel special, a member of a select group. |
