What is Christianity?

It seems that four different people might have four different answers.

So I'm curious to know what you think. Leave me a comment and let me know.

christianity is.... believing in jesus and that he did die for us and all our sins.
christianity is.... living by a lifestyle that is outlined in the bible
christianity is.... wanting to improve your relationship with god, as well as helping others do the same (i.e instead of ignoring god daily, or acting like he doesnt exist at all)
christianity is.... an example set to others (i.e my g-ma was hugely christian and portrayed that everyday by her kind actions and words she said to EVERYONE *rip gma*)
christianity is.... easter????? no no im joking im joking... jesus is not equal to chocolate eggs and bunnies

im kinda in a hurry but those are my quick thoughts

Ten second definition:
A religion whose proponents believe that there is one god, existing in the form of three persons, who created all that exists. They believe that humans have separated themselves from God by not living according to his standards, and that the only way to be reconciled with him and live beyond death is through faith in the man called Jesus Christ, the second person of the trinity, who became human and suffered the punishment we deserve because of our sin.

er...since you want an answer so bad I'll comment just for the sake of it.
Christianity is a religion that was NOT founded by Christ but it just kinda started because some people don't believe it. If nobuddy didn't believe it than we wouldn't have to have it be a religion and it would just be another aspect of life. That's what it should be: seamlessly integrated. Not just an add-on to a life. It IS a life.

There you go. Christianity is a way of life. A way of life in which you accept the truth of Jesus Christ: That he died for our sins and that by believing in him we don't have to pay for our screwiness but we become better people. Being a christian is letting this truth soak into every aspect of your being.

and it's fulfilling your purpose in life.
