Christians: Why do Atheists mistake Religion with God?

Not only atheists, even Christians mistake religion with God. They cannot think of God without religion. Yet God has no religion. He is not bound by religion. Religion has nothing to do with God. Religions even do not know God.

What do you think religion is?

re·li·gion

rəˈlijən/

noun

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Look it up yourself. Just Google "definition of religion". Now it's true, there are different definitions, but you can change the definition of any word--what gives you the authority to do so?

The only question is this. Have you adopted a traditional well-established religion that is followed by many people, or are you making up your own personal religion?

We don't confuse the two. There's a major difference between them. Religion exists.

We don't mistake the one for the other.

No gods exist.

Many religions exist. All are wrong and all are bad. But, they are real... Real bullsh!t.

Because they don't believe in either

they have been blinded by the enemy and apparently want to choose his ways above those of God ( they may deny that they believe in Satan, but that's just another layer of the blindness )

This is because they are not as rational as it may at first appear to an untrained eye.
