Righteousness not Religion

The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation. The mistake Christians make is to think that religion exalts a nation. A nation may have a multiplicity of churches but if the citizens are getting more religious instead of more righteous they and their nation will not be exalted. This is why some African nations with a multiplicity of churches are do religious but Japan with a low crime rate is getting exalted. God loves all people whether Christian or not, but only those who act right will be exalted even if they may not make it to His Kingdom.
