There isn’t a religion called Christianity that was corrupted, rather the corruption was in its institutionalization as a religion. Faith in the incarnate Logos sacrificed on the cross is not a religion. The teachings of Christ are full of anti-religious statements and satires on the scrupulous observances of his opponents as in his pregnant statement (Mark 2:27) that “the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

>Once we recognize that prayer is where the real battle is - and that prayer is more effective than physical warfare
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.”
And Christ said:
“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the hypocrites do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you need of before you ask Him.
Gospel of Matthew: 6:5-8
