That's a bit of a stretch. How do you define religion?

False religion is what the Bible refers to as idolatry, and secular humanism is idolatry.
Secular Humanism has no idols, while Christianity has the cross.
In Biblical terms, an idol is anything that comes between man and God. In modern times that is many things, including money, pleasure, secularism, hedonism, and the like. Humans have turned God-rejecting, God-dishonoring ideologies, agendas, philosophies, and beliefs into idols by honoring those ungodly things, including support for abortion, evolution, homosexuality, and secular humanism, over God.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The ONE baptism is given to those that trust in Christ.
You're very bad at math. ONE is ONE and not TWO. TWO is NOT ONE.
My sins are paid for and not only "remitted".
There was no anti-semitism. That's just you lying.
It is possible to serve no masters. It is a 21st century thing. Free yourself.
Yes, and they are the ones that actually repent of sin permanently.
Then, having had their sins washed away by the blood of Christ at their baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their past sins, are fit to be the sanctified temple of the Holy Ghost.
Thanks be to God.
One baptism done by men...in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, (Acts 2:38), and the other the gift of the Holy Ghost...also called the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Agreed, as the two words are synonymous in their effects.
"Atonement" also works.
Why do you seem so driven to separate yourself from one set of the people of God?
It surprises me that you even entertain the words of Paul, a Jew, when you defend your ideology.
Refusing to serve God is a sin punishable by death.
Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Let me put it this way. If Mrs. Clinton ever uttered anything like the following in her campaign in 2016 she would have beat President Trump in that election, but she didn't.
"It's not like I'm Joe Biden. It's not like I'm not going to by accident get us into WWIII."
People especially in the swing states that year would have been like "She's got a point. I'll vote for her."

You have a false definition of "repent".
Nobody is "fit" for salvation. It is a GIFT of God.
Rom 5:15-16 (AKJV/PCE)
(5:15) But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. (5:16) And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.
Water ceremonies have no place in the body of Christ.
Again, Paul says that there is ONE baptism in the body of Christ... NOT TWO.
I simply let the Bible speak for itself.
Paul is the apostle for today. Paul was the first member of the body of Christ and is the PATTERN for those of us in the body of Christ.
1Tim 1:16 (AKJV/PCE)
(1:16) Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

OK.
Well, the crucifix, the cross with the corpus. And don't forget the Holy Spirit's dove representation, plus there's usually another statue of Jesus somewhere or another crucifix, and statues of Mary, Joseph, and then there are regional statuary and art too.
We don't really represent the Father for whatever reason.
And we do offer sacrifices on altars, so that part's obvious too.
But of all the objects and pictures, our sacrifice is always and only offered to the Father, not to any of the beings represented in statues and paintings and 'stained glass.'
The Father alone is to Whom we are always sacrificing on our altars.
In Catholicism.
And ("Eastern") Orthodoxy.
Both my concordance and my dictionary agree that repent means...Turn From, or, Change.
I agree, as my repentance from sin gracefully changed me into a non-sinner.
I didn't say fit for salvation, I said fit for use by the Holy Ghost as His temple.
So I agree with the Rom 5:15-16 scrip's you posted.
I'm truly sorry you feel that way, as it is much more than a ceremony.
It is actuality in motion.
Agreed, one by man and one by God.
Both fulfil their own duty.
Unless it is written by or to a Jew.
He is one of them.
I can't agree, as many other Jews besides him, and some Gentiles, were in the body of Christ before him.
Was Paul the first believer?
I think not, as Ananias and the church in Damascus must have preceded him...not to mention the 120 disciples and then the 3000 on the day of Pentecost.
Only part of it "has fallen".
The sons of Isaac march on in the light.
I, a Gentile, am also in that light.
Thanks be to God.

Again, there are not two... there is one.
Actually, there are five or six baptisms mentioned in scripture.
Paul only mentions two, however, in Acts 19.
If Joe Biden had not threatened the President of Ukraine to withhold US aid money if he did not fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the crooked dealings of the company paying Hunter millions to serve on its board we may have learned more about all the crooked dealings in Ukraine with help from crooked Americans.
A former US ambassador to Ukraine said the war is an 'unmitigated disaster' for Putin. John Herbst said Russia "suffered" in part due to "the very strong response of a united West."
