Christianity is means being like Christ just as godliness means being like God.
It is a culture of heaven and not a religious concept.
In a gathering or interview where people are required to fill forms,you observe that even an herbalist, occult man will tick Christian and he doesn't even have an idea of what Christ has done for him.
So just pick up the Bible only to argue carnally with Christian's.
We should understand that a Christian is one that is
Born again
Baptize in the holy ghost
Believe and obey God word
Know the truth about his saviour
Dedicate in his service
An ambassador for christ

You are partially right about Christianity not being a religion. I can say that Christianity is a practice. 
Even when christians was first discovered at Antioch, people saw the qualifications of a Christ in  disciples before they can call them Christ like. But since then, people took it up as a religion without putting it into practice. You can only take it as a religion when you have Christ in you.
If you haven't been called a pastor, mummy/daddy Go, Evangelist...by your mates or an unbeliever, you are not qualified to be a called a Christian.
You don't need to call yourself a Christian before you are discovered by people., Your attitude will speak for you.
It's so painful today, that every one who attend church are generalized as christians. True christians are growing with the christians by mouth.
Only God has our judgements in hand.

@Francis:religion is not Christianity. Being a religious person does not make you a Christian. There is a name Jesus called the Pharisee and the sadduceas. He called them hypocrite. These are people that do not do what they preach. Being religious means being an hypocrite.

So Christian's are believers and believers are those that practise what the word of God instructs and Jesus is the word of God.
Many people today are church goers which means religious people and hypocrites. Only few are word practitioners i.e Christian's.
Religion is not Christianity. Christianity is a culture of of heaven i.e practising the word of God. And not deceiving the world on papers or form.
Jesus said I know my sheep and hear my  voice and they obey and follow me.
Only the obedient are Christian's.

Christianity is a religion because it all about Christ. All Christians believe in Jesus Christ as their personal  savior, Christianity is a genuine religion that 40% of people in the world are practicing because it really helps in many way. Many people have been sick and taking to church for prayer and they are delivered, while some people are so in need but through prayer as a Christian all as been settled. Christians celebrate more event in the the year and they are: Easter and Christmas and it once in a year.

                   Christianity is a religion, the word Christians means Christ like.

                    This entails the fact that Christianity is a religious practice that teaches everyone to live the life of Christ while he was on earth.
                         The problem with Christian is that a lot of people are bringing up different cultural practices from the Bible.
                         All these are just based on their own understanding of the Bible which is not right.
                         Proverbs 3:5 says trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
                          A lot of churches are misleading people based on their own understanding of the Bible which is not right.
                         But I'm not too surprised because these are signs of end times and before Christ left he made mention of a time when things like this would happen.

Christianity is a religion and also it's more than a religion. It's a religion based on how we classified religion in Nigeria and you know we have 3 types of religion which are - Christianity, Islamic and traditional religion. The 3 religion based their believe on God but the way they worship their God is what differentiate them. 


Christianity means Christ like that's when you said you're a christian you are expected to posses the nature and characters of Christ which is lacking in many people's lofe today. They've taken Christianity with a levity hands and also failed to understand the true meaning of what Christ is and they've become too familiar that they no longer have any sense of honour for God. 

Don't just take Christianity as Religion but be so intentional to the extend that you will form into the fullness of christ. Most people are just religious making them look like the sadduces and the Pharisees in the bible. They know all the laws but they are just hearer and not the doer of the word which is not right. 

This year is going to an end but you know you are just taking Christianity with levity hand and you've been deceiving yourself but you know it shouldn't be so. Why not Walk your steps back to the cross and stop the drama. Be intentional be committed and he will keep loving you.

@Bigsam94real: Christianity is not a religion Mr Sam.

Religion is not a culture but a means of trying to be moral. Culture is a way of life. That the practise of the word of God.
Religion has made many loose the salvation and that is why they are not healed or delivered.
God does not heal religious people but faith filled believers and faith come by hearing and obeying the word of God.
There many religions but Christianity is not one.
Until we stop seeing Christianity as a religion, we can connect to the power behind.
It is a life we live with evident testimony and not religion.

@Vickybrown: that is not true. The fact that a man is seen in church, holding a position or title and pays tithe doesn't make him a Christian. The Bible calls them hypocrite. Many are showing the attitude of a Christian but they are not. The Bible calls the people with a form of godliness and not Christian. It is a form of godliness but not true and that is religion.

An herbalist in church is not a Christian.
A prostitute in the choir is not a Christian
A Muslim in church is not a Christian but playing religion. Only those that practise the written word with evident testimony in the prove of power are Christians.

      Christianity a way of  life. Christ like nature surly isn't any religion. Religion suggests a belief in supernatural power that  have the ability  to change people's  destinies  and cause misfortunes  for those that doesn't  agree.  

  However,  Christianity suggest we belief  in supernatural  beings but the  change  comes here.  Unlike Religion,Christianity believes the supernatural  lives in them and he  has given  man the ability to control  his destiny.  Given him power  to speak  his destiny to reality.  Christians  believe  they are like Christ (their saviour).  They  are joint heir with  him and unlike other  religion they believe  their God is their friend. A person that keeps them  company.  
 
  In conclusion , Christianity  isn't a religion because  their culture is  Christ like.

Christianity is not just a religion because it is far more than you can ever imagine or think of even though it is a religion yet it’s more than a religion in the sense that they are so many mysteries attached to it. We live in a world where people are just so religious and all they do is eye service instead of the real worship.

Christianity is an avenue for us to be like Christ and not just full of activities though there is a place of service in worship to God but that does not stop us from being what God actually called us into which is nothing than his Eternal love and we can’t never come into this love if we don’t shun every act of eye service and start serving God in spirit and in truth.

God desire worship more than our service but then people no longer understands that fact instead they become so religious that many have turned themselves to judge who only judge and never look within to see that they also need help because nobody is perfect we all are building up to become and also look like Christ so therefore drop that religious act and allow him breed on you.

Let us always seek intimacy with God because that’s what Christianity is all about. When you become intimate with God he teaches you how to love like Christ and that mold you into a brand new person who now understands what Christianity really means which also makes you see other people just the way Christ sees them. Stop being religious instead be Spiritual thereby growing your spirit man to love the way God loved us all.

Since you said Christianity is not  a religion but it  is just  to be like  christ that  is your  point  of  view  right now I want  to ask you,  who bring about  Christianity  is it not  christ and we follow his steps, so therefore I disagree  that Christianity is not a religion it is a religion. 

But for me what I  will say is that  if you are  not  born again in christ  you are not on the way, the first thing we should  do as a believer in christ is to be born again, confess all our sin forget about  your past and change for better. 
know what the Bible teach 
Born again in christ 
Pray
Worship him always.

Christianity is just a title given to those that attend church.,it is never a sign of being born again.,that is why you still see some pastors attaching alter call to their service. Are they not Christians?.
Religion is different from faith, and a Christian is different from a believer. You can be a Christian religion, but not a believer..
Of course, anybody can claim Christianity, even the traditionalist and those that seldomly go to church.,but the most important thing is your relationship with God.
A Christian may be regular and so devoted to the work of God, but still don't know Jesus., Which implies that Christianity is not the evidence of faith and salvation, but just a religion.
You are a Christian, doesn't mean you will reign with Christ..if you fail to have a personal relationship with Christ, you are not different from an unbeliever.

There's a huge difference between religion and Lifestyle. Lifestyle is the way you live your life, a conviction that makes you live that way. Religion is a form of belief based on some set of laid down principles and order.

Christianity, in this case in my humble opinion is a Lifestyle not a religion. To be a Christian, one must not just look at the act of just going to Church, Christianity is more than that, the life of christ must reflect in your life, in your actions, manner and conversations. A Christian is someone who behaves like Christ (christ likeness), hence the name Christian. A Christian is one who is genuinely born again and has turned away from all sins and transgressions, accepting the Lord Jesus as his Lord and personal saviour. A Christian is one who loves the lord. Does things according to the scriptures and lives a holy life, following peace with all men. If a persons life does not reflect all stated above, the person is just practicing religion. Take Christianity as a lifestyle and you are tagged a genuine Christian.
In my humble opinion, Christianity is not a Religion, it is a lifestyle.
