“I have faith, I just don’t believe in organized religion…”  Wasn’t sure what to think when I heard this for the first time.  A close friend of mine made this statement after listening to a long and lively classroom discussion on religion.  This wouldn’t be the last time I would hear something like this.  Another friend later said, “I go to church, but I’m not a member anywhere… Christianity is about a personal relationship with Jesus, not an affiliation with a specific church…”  Each person had a very different approach to their faith, but they were equally disillusioned toward organized religion by past religious experiences.
