Christianity is neither a religion nor a pattern of worship but a way of life in JESUS CHRIST

First, there's nothing like religion, its just a concept coined by we humans to differentiate between beliefs and faith of people, we are not to believe in religion, its not even psychologically correct to say you believe in a religion, but rather use the word faith or believe, am a Christian I believe in Christ, there are Muslims also who believe in Allah.
Hope you understand.

You can call yourself a deist or a non-religious theist, depending on whether on not you actually believe that this god interferes in human affairs.

Jesus is not a religion, because even within Christianity there are many forms of religion. Can someone find God without Christ? I doubt coz He is the way to the Father. That means the power of Christ as a heavenly being is the power of revelation about God.

If you reject Him, you can't find His father. You'd be in the same position with the dedicated Jewish religious leaders of the time who did everything and more in the name of God, and rejected His Son. He spoke about their fate.

Is there a way one can worship God without following any religion?

YES!

1. The truth is that God or the Gods have never written any holy book or created any religion. That is why God or the Gods won't kill you even if you don't worship or believe in It or Them.

2. Religion is a blasphemy against God or the Gods because religion claims to speak for God or the Gods.

3. Humans and other beings were not created or born to worship any God or Gods. We were created or born to live and be alive.

4. Religion will be banished in the future just like slavery was banished in the past. Religion is essentially a tool used to programme consciousness or hypnotize minds in order to make it easier to control people like sheep.

How?

Religion going away doesn't mean that there won't always be about 100,000 (one hundred thousand) people who believe in religion in different parts of the world o! Lol. Religion going away means that religion will become very unattractive to at least 90% of people in the world.

When?

I predict that from the year 2080, religion will begin to be seen as a joke and an insult to people's intelligence.

Belief in God or religion can not save you.

Your salvation is in Jesus Christ alone.

Jesus proved his claim that he is the to God. The other religious leaders did not prove their claims.

Jesus lived a sinless life but other religious leaders were all sinners.

Jesus was born without the agency of man but other religious leaders were born like every other person.

Jesus performed matchless miracles. Other religious leaders could not perform miracles that could match that of Jesus.

Jesus is the only one who lived who made claims that no other human ever made till date. For instance he said:

1. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life - John 3:16.

2. I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me - John 14:6

He always called God his father. Others called him God.

He told the Jews he was before Abraham. This proves his pre existence.

He also said that he is the I Am. The same phrase God used to introduce himself to Moses.

He predicted his own death and resurrection and it happened just that way.

He is risen and still alive. Other religious leaders are all dead.

I could go on and on.

Only a fool will see all these facts and still don't know who is the Saviour.

Just ask him to come into your life today and you will be saved.
