"But you don't need religion! All you need is to believe in the spirit of Jesus Christ!"

By yourself though, Christianity is fresh and relevant. My thinking is people who say this stuff are just of a more independent streak. They still love the taste of the Kool-Aid.

It's religion with pretended private access to more bullshit.
