What does the Bible say about being too religious?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against being too religious in the sense of relying on rituals rather than on a true relationship with God.

In Acts 17:22-34, the Apostle Paul addressed the Athenians, stating that they were 'too religious.' This reflects a common human tendency to engage in religious activities without understanding the living God behind them. Paul distinguishes between true worship and mere superstition or ritualism, emphasizing the need for a genuine encounter with the true and living God rather than empty religion. It is essential to recognize that true faith is not about following rituals but about knowing and having a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who is the only source of life and truth.
