I think even Jesus himself would either laugh or cry at the insanity that occurs in his name today. . .
I seriously doubt he ever intended to found a religion - more like set an example of a way to live. And yes, there's a difference. Institutionalized religion exists for its own (normally secular) motives and for control. Personal spirituality is more of what Jesus was getting at - at least that's the way I read it.
