humanism and communism have also been identified as
religions, as well as the individualism of “The American
religion.” 21 The tenets of Christianity can also be
incorporated into a religion of “Christianism,” 22 or the
“Christian religion” as we are referring to this phenomenon

Christianity is unique. It is one of a kind. It is the singular
reality of God’s activity to restore mankind from their
fallen condition through His Son, Jesus Christ. Christianity
is not the propagation of a philosophy. It is not the
performance of religious procedures. It is not the
perpetuation of an organizational program. Christianity is
the reception of a Person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
God Himself, into one’s being and behavior.
