Religion is where thing go wrong. Let me try to explain
I believe in God and the Bible and have asked Jesus for forgivness and to be saved. That makes me born again
Christianity is a religion that follows Christ which in itself is a good thing. The bad happens when peopletake that belief system and start heading therer seperate ways making denominations. Then they start setting up a church government, making by laws, having business meeting so on and so fort till they forget what their purpose is. The spreading of the Word of God
You need to conform to what the Bible says but conforming to a Religion can be dangerous.
While you need people of the same faith to help you along, instilling doctrine gets messy.
If you just do what God tells you (through the Bible and His Spirit) you then become the Christian that he wants you to be not tha t the church wants you to be.
On the other note finding a religion that conforms to you is hypoctirical, If it conforms to you then what is the point?
I read a line in a book that puts it best
"You must remember that it's not about you"
