when jesus was on this earth he confronted many religious people in his times,the pharesees,scrives,there werefalse prophets before him and after him,false christs,all different false religions,but he gave a clue to recognize the true religion,read the whole chapter 7 of mathew and reallymeditate on it.

i pretty much agree with you. when people ask me my religion, i usually say that im christian, but i dont follow christianity really. i believe in God and Jesus, and that's about it. i think religion has become such a man-made thing, and all parts of it are up to interpretation by the church or mosque or preacher or whatever. most religions have the same base...be good, so i dont have to follow any specific religion to do that. i kinda take bits and parts of multiple religions in my daily life. i dont like going to church because i dont like somebody else telling me what to believe and when to pray and what to do in life. i believe in God in my own way i guess.

I believe in God, but I have trouble with some aspects of religion. Most of my problem is with certain parts of specific religions. I may agree partially with several religions but not entirely with any.
I am a Christian, but will not side with any one church. I have seen too many hypocrites in churches, so if anyone tells me that they are better because they attend this or that church regularly, I know better.
I attend at times, but I haven't found any church I have liked yet. I don't know if I ever will. If not, I'm not worried about it. I can be a Christian, and can believe in God even if I never attended church again.
