If God in the person of Christ was against religion why did he accept the religious practices of his time? Why indeed was he born into a culture that was based on very specific religious practices? He could just as easily have been incarnated into any century or any culture. Your statement makes no sense.
Please pay attention to my words, which were that religion is a loser when it's hypocrisy in the form of legalistic tradition..... opposed to true heart-felt traditions that express one's devotion to God.
Honestly, where are America's priorities? Do you realize how many people around you believe in revenge? How about abortion? How about parents who put their children above everything, including God? How about a marital cheating rate between 60-80%? You can fill in the blanks.
Jesus said he'd rather a person be hot or cold than lukewarm. He means pick a side - don't sit on the fence professing to be something you're not. Hypocrits are losers. That's what I'm saying.
