Religion is something we can do that gives us a sense we are doing something that pleases God so to assure our entrance into heaven.
Jesus came to free humanity from religion of its false gods and false idols. He wasn't just a founder of a "new" religion called, Christianity.
As the disciples were passing through a corn field on the Sabbath they stopped picked and ate. The Pharisees, took it upon themselves to interpret what could be done and not done on the Sabbath, questioned Jesus why his disciples were breaking the Sabbath. Jesus reminded them how David entered the House of God and ate what was unlawful. If God didn't get angry with David, why would he angry with his disciples? (Mark 2:23-26)
When Jesus went to do good on the Sabbath, healing a man, the Pharisees once again complained. They would of rather seen the man go unhealed than to break the Sabbath. (Mark 3:1-6)
Jesus didn't get angry with the woman at the well. He didn't get angry with the women caught in adultery, or the soldiers who nailed him to the cross, or even Levi, the tax collector, but he did get angry with the Pharisees who were deeply embedded into RELIGION.
