I could be wrong, but I've always thought the "not a religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus" nonsense was invented so they could try to get around the First Amendment's Establishment clause. They think (wrongly) that if they call their religion not a religion, then it's OK to force it into government.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
