So should we talk about Jesus, or should we talk about religion?

Lee constantly used "religion" as his basic foil -- everybody else is religious but him! But can this really be? Was this at all true? Is religion innately evil? Is everything about Lee, LSM, and the LC's inherently free from religion?
Hardly! But back to your question.
We should focus on Jesus, and at times expose hypocrisy. Is not that what Jesus and the apostles did? James said (1.26-27) that religion is caring for the weak, keeping oneself from worldly stains, and not being hypocritical. Jesus never condemned religion, especially the Jewish religion. What he condemned, however, was the hypocrisy of the scribes, priests, and Pharisees.
Kind of like what this forum does.
