If you do something 'religiously' you do it thoroughly, relentlessly from a sense of duty. Without understanding or inspiration. This is the opposite of what Christians see as their faith. Faith is inspired by love and proven by its fruits. Religion is mostly the enemy of faith. it's what faith turns into when it gets old and forgets why it's there. It makes proclamations and forces rules, stifling faith.
A keen Christian I know said she wouldn't believe if religion was all there was. Because blind faith is empty and hollow. I think this is how the vast majority of Christians, including Christ from his teaching, view religion.
