And who are the man conceived religions? All of them.
Catholicism evolved out of Judaism. The only religion in the New Testament is Judaism, which was practiced by the Pharisees and others. Out of Catholicism and Judaism all of the other religions have evolved, including Calvinism. All religions, whether it be the Baptist religion, Methodist religion or whatever religion, all have one thing in common. They are all law based. The words "Law" and "Religion" mean the same thing. When one is doing the law, they are doing their religion. When one is doing religion they are doing the law. Any religious thing that we do is a work of the law.
Is their anything wrong with religion?
Paul taught against religion and referred to as a work of the flesh, "For what the law (Religion) could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh (religion) God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (religion) Romans 8:3.
Paul's emphasis in his epistles are that, "The Just Shall Live By Faith" Romans 1:17. Living by faith does not mean living according to rules, laws or religion. Living by faith means to live according to the Gospel. In the Gospel we are justified by faith in the work and the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is our justifier, Romans 3:26. It was the work of Jesus that justified us and reconciled us to God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. No religion needed. Religion is not an indication of faith. Religion is an indication of the absence of faith. If one does not have faith in the doing and the dying of Jesus for their salvation, then the only thing left is religion.
Religion does not save or justify, simply because religion is what we do. God does NOT accept the works or the obedience of sinners, which we are all one of, Romans 3:10. Religion is what we do and the Gospel is what God has done in Jesus Christ. Jesus in our name and on our behalf has fulfilled every jot and tittle of God's Holy Law, Matthew 5:18. That was not enough. Jesus in our name and on our behalf became sin for us, 2 Corinthians 5:21 and in doing so defeated the devil.
All who believe in Christ and his Gospel stand before God's holy court as justified, without sin. Paul wrote, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1. We have peace with God because we have followed God's plan of salvation of being justified by faith without religion.
