James defines "religion" as what Paul would call "good works" and Jesus would call "loving your neighbor as yourself." The problem, at least to my thinking, is not so-called religion, but hypocrisy. Jesus did not condemn religion, especially that given thru Moses. Jesus rather condemned hypocrisy, unbelief, deceptions, preventing others from entering the kingdom.

"Living the Christian life without the indwelling Christ?!?"

For decades I have listened to many talk this way, and they are the most guilty. (Romans 2.1)
