Is there a valid distinction between religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ?

Evangelicals usually say "religion" and "a relationship with Jesus" are completely different.

Religion is about man working his way to God, Christianity is God coming down to man. Religion is about following rules and laws, Christianity is about life transforming relationship with Jesus.

Of course all these "distinctions" are highly ambiguous, vague, unbiblical, have nothing to do with Jesus himself and are really just a modern polemic for a clueless non-Christian audience to view Christianity as a modern fade and join up!

This kind of thinking has already effected the older generations of Christians, who actually buy into this hype and mutter these kind of distinctions as "legitimate".
