  Wow! I completely agree with you.

  Wait a minute though, I bet that's a trick answer and that you're going to say that for some reason your religion isn't really a religion, right?

  First, a definition of religion: A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects.

  Origin:
  1150–1200; ME religioun (< OF religion) < L religion- (s. of religio) conscientiousness, piety, equiv. to relig(are) to tie, fasten (re-+ ligare to bind, tie; cf. ligament

  Second, a definition of worship: To feel an adoring reverence or regard.

  Origin:
  bef. 900; (n.) ME wors(c)hipe, worthssipe, OE worthscipe, var. of weorthscipe; see worth -ship

  In keeping with the above definition of religion, I'm no longer bound or tied to specific fundamental beliefs or practices agreed upon by others.

  However, in accord with the definition of worship, I do have an adoring reverence for the God of the Holy Bible and feel that He and only He is worthy of our worship.

  Peace to all.

  I hold to the tenet that we are in need of a Savior, and that Jesus Christ, the God of the Bible, is that Savior.

  That's all.

  Ok, but I know there is more to you than that. You are a Christian. That is a religion. You have a high respect for it's most important book, the Bible, and for its founder, Jesus. It seems to me that what you don't do is belong to any particular sect, denomination or church.
