Why is it acceptable to join a religion that was created by a single man? [Spirituality & Religion]

For example, King Henry created the Church of England. How do we know if God approves this religion? How do we know that any religion is approved? Why is it acceptable for religions to evolve? Various religions have changed over time due to cultural pressures. How do we know these changes are “authorized”? (Don’t get me wrong it’s a good thing that religions evolve)

Jesus was against some of the religious leaders of his time. In fact, he rebuked them and called them hypocrites because they would stand out in public places, put ashes on their face and make all kinds of contorted faces when they prayed outloud for all to notice, in order to appear to be so holy, dedicated, and intense about following God. He is not worried about religious groups or what denomination we might belong to. He's more concerned about what is [b]in[/b] our hearts and [b]whom[/b] we serve.
