You do not need a religion to believe in God: all you need is faith.
For centuries and even for thousands of years, however, adults have done a wonderful job of creating religions as well as teaching children religion.
The world today has a smorgasbord of religions from which to choose, and the table is quite impressive! You can, in fact, have a religion for this, one for that, and another for something else. The one you pick from the menu is the one you are hungry for, or it could be a new dish you want to try to see how it feels or fits, which is what people do when they shop for a new pair of shoes.
Usually, however, people keep going to the table with the religion they were taught as children. In other words, they keep wearing the same pair of shoes.
At the smorgasbord of religion, did you happen to see Almighty God on the menu?
Is there something about God that gives people heartburn? Or do they think that choosing God will give them a serious case of indigestion, like a food that will keep them awake at night, depriving them of sleep?
Do people tell others about God, or do they tell others about religion?
Is your relationship with God, or is your relationship with religion?
Which do you talk about?
And whom do people say that you are?
At the smorgasbord of religion, the menu never changes. The taste is always the same. The chef keeps serving the same food, which is killing people. And the chef, of course, is Satan, the god of deception and illusion, and his kitchen is always hot.
Almighty God has empowered you with the freedom to make decisions. You have the right to choose Christ and live, but you also have the right: to remain silent.
As stated, you do not need a religion to believe in God: all you need is faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1)
