I'm not a Catholic, but I don't see 'all religion enslaves'.

Thanks for the reply. What I meant by that statement is that the very word "religion" means "to bind back". This idea is what ties all religions, in that, it is always man's attempts to bind himself back to God. True, biblical Christianity is the opposite. It is God binding man back to himself through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for us. Our Heavenly Father offers us eternal life in heaven with him as a gift that we accept by faith. His grace is what binds us to him and not our good deeds that bind him to us.

I don't see real Christianity as a "religion". Does that explain it ok?

Amen sis.

As long as you don't hold to the idea of going it by yourself as the only human involved. The Namesake wishes us to practice it amongst fellow believers.
