I see more and more folks who are Christians leaving religion, not their individual relationships with God. There is a huge difference.

Even Jesus decried religion and He was a Jewish Theologian!

As is continually pointed out (and rightly so) by the atheists and agnostics here, religion has caused more human suffering and death than even Communism, and that's saying a lot!

Having a personal relationship with God, minus the religious laws, is the way God intended it to be. It's all right there in the Bible, which has been twisted for centuries by those who would obtain and maintain power and control.
