Is Christianity All About Relationship and Not Religion? You’ve probably heard it: “Christianity isn’t a religion, it’s a relationship.” It’s catchy, and there’s a grain of truth. But like most slogans, it doesn’t hold up to Scripture. The Bible does not pit “relationship” against “religion”—it teaches that true religion is good, holy, and proven by the way you live.
