Religion in the Bible: James 1:27
God doesn't like what we normally associate with religion: rituals, ceremonies, and services. What he wants is for us to act with kindness and service to those who need it most. If you're doing that, you're practicing the one "religion" that God approves of.

If we are to be unspotted from the world. Then how do we let are light shine that the whole world will take notice?
a relationship with GOD threw Christ is not called religion. So why all the man made religion when GOD himself will place you for the whole world to be drawn to you like Jesus?

Pure and undefiled religion refers to obedience that is pleasing to God—doing something with our faith.
James uses more word pictures and illustrations to show us the necessity of putting the Word of God into our life, in how we feel and how we are, and then allow it to transform us into how we treat others. The principle for us as sincere, authentic Christians who are to be responsible to do something with our Christian life. We are not called to just be pretty; rather, we are called to get dirty! This is implied in all that we do and believe (Prov. 19:17).
We are not called to be prefect all of the time. We still have His forgiveness when we mess up, but we are called to put forth an effort and have a caring heart’ in whatever we do, we must do it with excellence for His glory.
