If that's your definition of religion, then those who follow Jesus Christ as their leader and savior aren't religious....because they don't follow Him to get hope and faith when things look bad. They follow Him because sin is detestable, and we know if we don't, we won't live an eternal life without sin after we die here on earth.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
