Why is Christianity a Christ thing and not a religion thing?
There are some Christians who believe that their belief that Christ is their Lord and Savior is not a religious belief, but a "relationship" with him. This is basically a redefinition of religious belief to disassociate oneself with the dogma and doctrine that comes with accepting it. However, despite redefinitions of Christians, a belief in a deity/higher power, having a relationship with this deity/higher power, and following principles associated with these beliefs constitute a religion. Many Christians of the Born-Again archetype are of the same opinion about the "personal relationship with Jesus Christ". However, not all sects of Christians agree on this.

What is a Christians beliefs in birth death and marriage?
Christians differ in some of these beliefs, but what I answer is what I and fellow evangelical Christians believe: Christians believe that birth is a miracle, and the birth of a child is a gift from God to their parents. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" is a ray of hope for Christians regarding death. Life on Earth is temporary, and death is simply passing on to meet the Father. Marriage is where many issues come up and a debate can start. Marriage, as the Bible defines it, is a sacred between 1 MAN and 1 WOMAN. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about that. Marriage is a sacred sybmol of Christ's relationship with the church (his bride).
