We are not into RELIGION. We preach & believe in Jesus Christ.

I have an LDS friend who I have been witnessing to for the past year. Early on I noticed that she always says ‘my religion’ where I always say ‘my faith’. She will say ‘my religion believes this” or “my religion does this”. It is never ‘my faith’. She has yet to notice (or at least comment) on the differences or ask me why I never use the word ‘religion’.

I have started to pay attention to see of it is common with other LDS and have found that it is.

Mormons talk about their ‘religion’. Christians talk about Jesus and their faith.

We have several LDS here who constantly go on about “my faith” (you’re insulting MY FAITH!”). But it sounds like they mean “the LDS faith”. Not necessarily their own personal faith, although their faith in their religion is strong.
