Campus Crusade For Christ
Christian group that goes by "Cru" on most college campuses that talks about Jesus a lot. Mostly chill group of people who believe in God & hang out together.
They believe that God created us, He loves us, and He wants what is best for us, but that we can never be perfect like God because we screw up, make mistakes, hurt others, and are selfish - wanting what we want instead of what God wants. They belive that since God knew that even our best efforts of being perfect wouldn't even come close, He chose to send Jesus to bridge the gap between us and God, by dying in our place, taking the punishment that we deserved, and forgiving us for all of the crappy things that we are guilty of. So they believe they & everyone else can have a relationship with God if they simply ask for forgiveness & believe that He saved us.

Person 1: Yo, are you going to that Fall Retreat that Campus Crusade for Christ is doing?
Person 2: Nah, why whould I want to do that? Religious people freak me out.
Person 1: Yeah, me too actually. But we're going water skiing, kayaking, playing ultimate frisbee, and talking about how Jesus thought religion was lame because it was all about people trying to be good enough for God.
Person 2: I thought Jesus was all about religion?
Person 1: Nah. He wanted us to know God apart from religion, and that's what Campus Crusade for Christ is all about.
Person 2: Hmm. That's kinda strange, but if you're going, I guess I'll come check it out.
