Are you burdened or released by religion? Jesus might be the answer

SOMETIMES people ask me if I'm religious. That's a word | have something of an aversion to.

The word ‘religion’ is to do with the purpose and direction of the universe in relation to a higher being (a god or gods), involving a set of beliefs, practices, worship, devotion and morals.

So why am | uncomfortable with being named a religious person?

For me it is a term too vague: it simply divides the atheist from the rest. I'm a follower of Jesus (albeit an imperfect one) and, as such, have no desire to be grouped in with what is sometimes called the ‘world religions’.
