John was a Jew and practiced the Jewish religion Judaism. But then he was called by Jesus to be a disciple and I believe he was born again (The Bible doesn't say this) as Jesus taught.
So John became a follower of Christ. Followers of christ were first called Christians in the New Testament, in Acts 11:26, which states "...in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians."
