RE: Christianity is Not a Religion
You are right. But, there are words that have many meanings in the dictionary. This one already has many depending on people. Many people call it their religion, according to their definition. I suppose it's ok.
That's the problem. People use the word "Christian" to fit their own definition, and since each person defines Christianity differently it doesn't tell us much at all. That's why I don't believe it can be a religion. It literally doesn't fit the definition of religion. A religion is defined by its beliefs and practices. I believe the current definition has become outdated and no longer represents what Christianity is.
Christianity could certainly benefit from developing a new language. It is trapped within a lot of cliched language currently.
