“Christ is God. He is not a religion. He is the reason for religion.”

Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God—the Greek word of Christ is a religious title (if you hollered “Hey Christ!” Jesus would not have turned around) afforded him by the early Christian sects so Jesus may not be a religion but “Christ” certainly is.

And perhaps you should research the many religions that preceded Christ about whether Christ was the reason for them.

He IS God, and the Son of God.

“—the Greek word of Christ is a religious title (if you hollered “Hey Christ!” Jesus would not have turned around)”

Actually He would have. Look at how many times He is asked if He is the Christ. He knew He was the Christ. He might have been asked if He was the Messiah, but that was just the term “Christ” in Hebrew.

“afforded him by the early Christian sects so Jesus may not be a religion but “Christ” certainly is.”

No. The Christ is a person, not a religion. A religion is a thing, not a person. Christ is the heart of the Christian religion, but He isn’t a religion.

“And perhaps you should research the many religions that preceded Christ about whether Christ was the reason for them.”

All religions exist because of the idea of the divine, God.
Christ is God. Christianity, a religion, exists solely because of Christ.
