Are you the follower of a religion?
I have had many bible thumppers claim that they are not 'religious' nor do they belong to a 'religion' simply because they don't belong/go to a church.
I say bullshit. If you believe that the bible is the 'Word of God' then your a fucking christian and the follower of a fucking religion.
Opinions?
Religion is more about dogma and structure than spiritual teachings. If their reaction to the Bible is to live their life a certain way or act a certain way than it is their religion. Religion is a deliberately formed set of rules that people follow in response to what they think are spiritual truths or messages.
I would argue that anyone who believes in the Bible is NOT necessarily a Christian. Christians are people who try to emulate Jesus Christ. Most people who read the Bible don't come anywhere close to behaving like Jesus Christ, thus they are not Christian (or Christ-like).

Why are you talking to such morons? Anybody who believes the bible is an idiot.
The Bible was assembled by a group of people called the council of Nicea. Everyone on that council practiced the common Roman forms of Paganism. The council was formed by Constantine, also a Pagan, in response to the rapid spread of Christian and Judaic beliefs in to Rome. Constantine was facing a possible civil war between the traditionalists and the new radical "Christ believers". Instead, he decided to help legitimize Christianity and assemble the original Bible with a heavy emphasis of manipulating most of the stories to fit what was needed by the current culture.
Every Bible-based religion since has came from this original Bible and Church forming by the Romans. This event also marked a hard line in the separation of Judaism and Christianity, even though Christianity had its roots in Judaism, the Essenes, etc...
