A lot of people have the misconception that Christianity is just another religion. Religion is not what TRUE Christianity is about,it's about relationship with God through Jesus Christ. No religion offers or requires a personal relationship with its deity. Without a relationship with God,Christianity is nothing but vain,self-serving rituals, traditions and routines done with the expectation of recieving something in return from whichever deity they serve--that is what religion is. Hence the difference. Anyone can just go through the motions, read their bible everyday, do their best to be a good person.But, without a real relationship with God, that is all pointless. Because, unlike religions in which salvation depends on how "holy" we can be, in Christianity salvation can not be bought by our own good deeds. That's like trying to be good in order to buy your parents love. A parents love is unconditional no matter what you do. However, how can you love or expect to BE loved by someone you don't have a relationship with? In Christianity, salvation can only be attained through repentance of sin and a relationship with God through Christ who was beaten,crucified, buried and rose again in order for us to have salvation. And even with a relationship with God,Christianity is simply a demonstration of devotion to that relationship.Bruce Lee basically said the same thing in reference to martial arts.He said "Martial arts is nothing but blind devotion to the systematic uselessness of routines that lead nowhere".The same thing applies to religion.Without a relationship with God through Christ,that's all Christianity would be(A.K.A -Religion)". And that's what sets Christianity apart from religion.
