You don't have to, nor are required to believe in a religion to be saved. Being religious!, does not save anyone. Jesus does!. If you come to Jesus with a heart broken from sin, and the pride of human arrogance broken realizing you cannot save yourself, you will be forgiven.
But first you must believe! he exists. And believe in your heart he is risen from the dead. Then with your mouth, confess Jesus is Lord. Then you will be saved. No religion required. :)
Well, you have some funny semantics. Believing in Jesus Christ is certainly a religion, and I have no basis to believe he will "save" me any more than any other religious figures people believe in.
