nohitters, clarify your question, please. what are our thoughts on the question of the beginning of christianity, and the potential paradox concerning the possibility of worshipping in a Christian/Judaic fashion before it was a recognizable religion, or thoughts on religion itself?
As to the first, if you're Christian, then I guess those people are pretty much SOL. I don't really know, as I don't know whatever the official position of whichever flavor of Christianity you adopt is.
As far as religion goes, I would say that organized religion represents an natural tendency of a society to encapsulate it's citizen's spiritual/philosophical/scientific beliefs, and that they need to be updated every so often. I think the best way to go is to make up your own, after consulting as many sources as you can, and then update it dynamically. Other people like different systems. Do what makes sense to you and feels right. Whatever you adopt, live by those principles. If you can't, then change your principles to reflect your life.
Just a little pigglet's opinion.
