In my reading of the NT I see a man who preaches a more loving aspect of god than that which was orthodox at the time. When I look at modern day day religions which are supposed to follow the teachings of this man, I see deviations from his teachings, and bits and pieces added on.
So if I were to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ to the letter, I could still call myself a Christian, but would find it hard to identify with any religion. I would be able to call myself a believer but claim not to be religious. I would be interested to know if anyone knows of a religion, cult etc that could truly call themselves Christian.

I believe in God but am not in an organized religion.

These people are confused....the ones who don't go to church but still believe are hypocrites.

Haha ya the "not practicing " but still believe in the invisible man in the sky.

No I honestly don't think I ever met anyone like this but England is a very godless island.

Well where do they think those ideas come from? Organized Religions. I think they just want to make themselves sound more credible.

It is semantics. Maybe they say they are not "religious" because they think they have a "personal relationship" with the invisible man in the sky. These are often the pious. By most people's definition they are religious. Though their piety, delusional thinking, and self-rightousness leads them to think that they are something beyond that...

Just in case? Or they find some confirmation to their bias in it.
