I like this chart from Justin Buzzard adapted from Tim Keller’s Gospel in Life: Grace Changes Everything. (HT: Kingdom People)
Moralism (aka “Religion” in the above chart) is a disease that robs people of enjoying Jesus in the freedom he provides from the cross. Perhaps Islam’s largest flaw is that it endorses moralism (see Islam is Guidance: A Complete Legal Code for Humankind). But Muslims are not the only ones guilty of playing religion. Sometimes I slip into this error when I take my eyes off Jesus. So I need this chart to help me preach the gospel to myself as well as to Muslims.

Warrick... AWESOME. I heard Tim Keller talk about this in Boston last year and it was revolutionary for me! So simple, yet so profound - that's the Gospel! It is so unlike the systems/religions of man (including "Christianity")!
