Religion and Christianity are not synonymous. Religion is man’s invention of control and power over the souls of others. Religion attempts to replace God’s will with the will of man. Religion dictates its own way to God, it pretends to follow God and His Word, but doesn’t. Religion decides what and how man can interact with God. Religion sets the conditions to approach God. Religion claims authority to act as the spokesperson for God. Religion is all about religion. Christianity is about God and His Christ. – Mary Haigh
