By "religion" do you think you turn more people on or off?

I feel religions in general that stray away from God's word and the sinfulness of sin and the holiness of God turn more people off by their hypocrisy. Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, and the like all have their rituals and man-made doctrine. The problem is like the Pharisees in the NT, they tell a non-believer and a believer for that matter, by their standards and not God's holy truthful word, they can't be saved unless they do this or that by their doctrine. Quite simply, salvation is a free gift from God through His son Jesus Christ who paid the penalty for your sins. Works, good deeds, going to church on Sunday, etc. will not save you, human effort is futile to do this! Good works are a result of faith, not part of your redemption. It says in many places in the NT, that works will not save, but "religions" in general preach this as a form of being a slave to the church rather than to Jesus Christ.
