That is christianity
That is righteousness
That is morality
That is good works
That is faith

Are you merely voicing a subjective opinion in the OP that only applies to you and no one else or do you believe you are stating something that is true and is applicable to other people as well?

This is a false dichotomy you have presented. Your “or” is the problem.
