I'm not religious, but I don't think you can fit religion into a near epistemological box and consider it either complete bunk or irrefutable Truth of a Higher Being. It's by definiton a matter of faith.
And, by the way, Christianity has de facto become its own religion, but let's not forget that it began as a minor sect of Judaism. It's an extension of Judaism, at least from the early Christian's point of view. Just a thought.
