Religion just simply what is was supposed to be. Religion was the pursuit of a spiritual relationship and someone was considered religious when their life was focused primarily on spiritual matters. But religion has become a chore, an obligation and a duty. It’s not something done out of passion and love for a higher being, but rather a self serving and self focused action to gain favor from a god. Going to church is about appeasing a god who has nothing to do with the rest of our life.
I think that avoiding religion altogether seems like a good plan. But not avoiding God. God still is real, even though religion has been corrupted and commercialized and become a money gaining venture. God still wants to have a relationship with you and wants you to care about Him too.
Can you Avoid Religion and go to Church?
I bet there are some churches that are not caught up in religion. If your church happens to be one of the very few that have figured out how to have some organized structure and not lose focus of what really matters (or rather Who really matters) then count yourself very fortunate and celebrate each time you enter the church and relate to your church family. Enjoy developing a better connection with God while on the journey with other people. Most of the time, going to church is a big part of religion. And that does not impress God. He isn’t too keen on people showing up at a building and performing a certain routine once a week. Pretty meaningless and empty.
