Jesus told Christians to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, didn't he? God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalm 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28, Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus said that this good news of the Kingdom would be preached about in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come, Matthew 24:14! In order to receive everlasting life either in heaven or on a Paradise earth, we must worship the Father with spirit and truth, John 4:22-24! Isaiah 42:8; Psalms 83:18!
So, Webster defines religion as personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices 2a(1): the service and worship of God or the supernatural When you sing "bye religion" you are saying bye to your personal worship and belief of God. When you talk against religion you are talking against belief in and worship of God. Protestant Chrisitanity is a religion because it is a personal belief, practice, attitude and worship of God. If you don't want to be religious then you don't want any of those things. Other beliefs that go agonist Scripture are false teachings and false beliefs in God. These we must comes against because they are man made, not Spirit led. We are to teach against pagan beliefs and heretical beleifs about God. He does show us how to live for Him and it is not a set if rules, but sanctification, daily learning and growing ro be more like Christ. We learn from the Holy Spirit through His Word.
The context of the song isn't a reference to Webster's, and the secular world's, definition of religion. Specifically in that context, it is referring to the concept of religion as earning God's favor through works, the Old Covenant religion, vs the Gospel that says God loved us first, we don't need to earn his favor, we only need to obey out of love for Him. We dance before the Lord because he made the way to the Father without us having to earn his favor, so we are free from religion in that sense. I do understand, however, why you would be concerned as that concept would be confusing to people judging what is said according to Webster's definition of religion.
God gives each of us a talent or talents and we are to go out and teach other people about what we know. The person He gave one talent to did not share his wisdom with no one. He died and was buried without revealing his knowledge to anyone. The least that he could have done was to write a book about what he knew. Then usury would have been accounted to him. The bottom line is he failed to go and teach all nations and was punished for not doing so. We must always be about the Father's business, just like what Jesus told his parents as a child when they were searching for Him. Are you sitting on your gift?
