Oddly enough, though I intended this to be tongue-in-cheek, I rememberd many Christians have made this assertion. And I suppose, they're right but in the wrong way.
"Christianity" is not a religion per se' so much as, like paganism, an umbrella term. Catholicism is a religion, Baptists, Lutherns, etc. are religions. But there's no "Christianity" religion. Just as Wicca and Druidism are examples of religions under the header "Paganism" but "Paganism" itself isn't a religion.
Many Christians though who've claimed they're 'Christ followers' insist Christianity isn't a religion. True, but if you use the Bible as your faith's authoratative text, and believe Jesus is God and/or the Messiah, you're something accurately described, at least generically, as "Christian."
