No....religion is philosophy + divinity.

Conservative Christianity is Cherry Picking parts of the Bible to suit an agenda and ignoring others that don't fit that agenda.

Still philosophy, no matter how you slice it. And I could care less about Christianity, as I'm a pagan.

Pagan? I actually have more respect for that than I do folks who hide behind God's word to justify profiteering, an open disdain for the poor, pointing the finger and judging "other people's" sins while ignoring their own(or rationalizing them away) and being exclusionary instead of practicing the inclusive teachings of Christ.

Hypocrite is not strong enough of a word. At least you guys are straight up.

Yes, Pagan. Tons of horrible unspeakable gods and the only afterlife to look forward to is eternal madness and suffering.

That's atheism. Christianity is embracing the spiritual.

Really? Care to explain that? Besides...I specifically mentioned CONSERVATIVE Christianity.
