I hope everyone had fun debating this topic
As a "thinking" Christian, I find this thread depressing.

The real definition of a religion is man's attempt to connect with God
I'm looking at the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

This is what religion is:

(1): the service and worship of God... (2): commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance

Let me phrase this as clearly as I possibly can.

Do you serve and worship God? Do you commit/devote yourself to the Christian faith and it's practices?

If so, then you believe in a religion.

If you are attempting to say....

Then fine. That is what Christianity is, however, it doesn't mean that (According to the Webster dictionary) it isn't a religion.

Truth
If you mean the Bible, then point out the verse.
It may be the "Truth", but we need to see how you came to this conclusion.


Don't forget this is all in good fun!
