Dear @evanprice,
I am glad we can have a civil discussion and not resort to ad hominem arguments. (An ad hominem argument is one that relies on personal attacks rather than reason or substance).
I would like to address one issue at a time. I agree that at times a so-called Christian will have a "religious spirit." That kind of person usually is prideful and judgmental of others. He or she thinks morality is based on their standards and outward appearances.
Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day for hypocrisy. In the Book of Matthew chapter 23, He first warns against hypocrisy. Then He rebukes the teachers of the law and the Pharisees seven times starting each time by saying “Woe to you ( Meaning; How terrible it will be for you), teachers of the law and Pharisees."
Here is one example:
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. Matthew 23:23-24
In other words, those self-righteous people who walk around haughtily trying to impress other people with their show of good deeds; but who inwardly are self-centered and neglect the more important principles of the faith may call themselves Christians but are not following Jesus.
True Christianity is considering the needs of others above your own. It is sacrificial love and all the laws and commandments are fulfilled by loving God and loving your neighbor.
I will get to some of your other points over the next few days.
Shalom, Steven Sherman
