God despises religion.

Huh?
RELIGION to me is any MAN-MADE/ORDAINED set of rules pertaining to a Higher Power.
Islam is a RELIGION
Mormonism is a RELIGION
Buddhism is a RELIGION
There are many great world RELIGIONS
They are NOT of God.
What does God WANT?:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
All that God really wants for us flows from the finished work of Christ and NOT adherence to any RELIGION.
Well and truly stated ...
All that God really wants for us flows from the finished work of Christ and NOT adherence to any RELIGION.

But the belief in that as well as the actions that flow from that belief (”The Fruits”) are a religion.
Christians should not be ashamed to call their faith a religion. The political Left has already foisted enough political correctness on us. Let’s not do it to ourselves willingly.
