It is not reliable to let people tell you what the bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read to find wisdom. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. Here is a book to help you to understand the bible. It's a free download and you can get a hard copy at any bible book store.

Straight answer: No.
If you believe in all the BS your particular religion tells you then yes you can. It's their version of what the bible says and means plus their own manmade rules and regulations. If you don't go by their rules and follow their rules then they will tell you how bad you are and how quickly you are going to hell or suffer for breaking their rules.
You don't need their rules. Treat others like you want to be treated, do no harm, and you should be just fine.
