I'm not sure I agree with Nicholas in his statement
above. Make up your own minds whether Christianity is
a "religion" or a "way of life" or both from the
following sources.

Wikipedia says about religion:
>
"Religion is a system of social coherence based on a
common group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an
object, person, unseen being, or system of thought
considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine or
highest truth, and the moral codes, practices, values,
institutions, and rituals associated with such belief
or system of thought. It is sometimes used
interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1],
but is more socially defined than that of personal
convictions."

Merriam-Webster defines religion as follows:

b (1) : the service and worship of God or the
supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to
religious faith or observance

2 : a personal set or institutionalized system of
religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
