I agree that Christianity as Jesus taught it was not, and is not, a religion. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven. A spiritual Kingdom that rules in the hearts of those who follow Christ.

Many people today constantly confuse the two. When one hears of Jesus or his teachings, they think ''ah, just more religion''. But really, they couldn't be further from the truth.

It is however convenient to see Jesus' teachings as just more religion in a ocean of religiosity, because then people can just operate on a 'my opinion vs. your opinion'' level.

There really is truth out there, real truth that we all can follow. It's not a religion, it's a spiritual Kingdom, that we have a responsibility to find and submit ourselves to.
