ALL religion is a kind of Cargo Cult.. Idol(s) with a cargo or cargos.. The one in the South Pacific with the Airplane as the Idol is indicative..
Jesus didn't come to create a religion but a family..
No idols, No cargo, just relatives..
Certainly not your religion? So, it's another definition of religion that you must be referring to. I'm wondering what is it that makes religion not the type of religion you would be part of?
Is it any institutionalization that crosses the line for you? Or authority of some kind - any offices, preachers, etc? Is a congregation, in the usual sense, part of the bad definition of religion?
Would you consider Southern Baptist or the Episcopal Church "religions" in the perjorative sense?
