I'm pretty sure the Church understands Christianity as a religion as well. But anyway, what's your definition of 'religion' since you disagree with the orthodox defintion?
Orthodox not that again....lol. True Christianity is a relationship. If you think a religion can saved you wrong, only Jesus Christ can save you.

True Christianity is entirely centred on, and derived from a relationship with the divine, but that itself is religious let alone all the things that Christians do as a result of this relationship.

But really, what is your definition of 'religion' or 'religious'?

Religion can save you because by definition religion is a belief system and the Christian belief system says that unless you believe in Christ you cannot be saved.

After reading that watchmen try saying again that Christianity or your personal relationship with Christ doesn't involve a set of beliefs agreed upon by a number of persons (ie. the church) ??

Can you see why we think you're making contrary statements by claiming be a Christian yet at the same time insisting you're not religious, especially after posting that definition, which as far as can tell encompasses your beliefs?

Also, do you think religion is a bad thing?

So you bascially just mean people who pretend or think they are a Christian even though they're not (notwithstanding the indelible mark the Sacrament of Baptism leaves on their soul)? It's a bit of a misleading way of putting it though because it's impossible to be a Christian and not be religious.
I would have to disagree with your last statement. Religion is basically a list of dos and donts. Christianity is a relationship with Christ.

Christianity is a religion based on, and centred around, a relationship with Christ. And it's impossible to have that relationship with Christ without subscribing to some kind of religious practice (namely worshiping God and all that that entails).

Christianity is a list of do's and don't. Do believe in Christ, do turn from sin. Sound familiar?

You people need to go back to school to learn english or something.

Yes I do, and I believe Jesus thought so as well.
Well I'm religious. In fact I'm so religious I believe Christ founded the Christian religion. But maybe I'm wrong and the Church and the Bible and Christ's teachings are just my imgination.

Depends on what you think Jesus taught. There are a lot of religious people in the world that have imagine Christ taught things He never did.

I am a christian, but i have no religion at all. I am in a intimate relationship with Christ, ever greater than the one i have with my wife. That is not a religion.
that's what every other christian calls it, are you saying their relationship with god is inferior to yours?

We dish out the hate, we're no better then they are. To intentionally hurt a hurting person (obviously they are, they choose Satan) is like spiritual murder.
