None of that suggests that they were founding a new religion or saw it as such. The old law being fulfilled doesn't mean that it's discarded or insignificant. The New Covenant is just a development from it. The earliest Christians were Jews. They would never say they were abandoning their religion. Quite the opposite.

They believed that they were more in conformity with the promises of the old religion than those who rejected Jesus could ever hope to be.


What do you define a religion as?

If you mean they still followed Jehovah, then yes they held that belief.

However religion is usually defined as practices and beliefs which widely changes when Jesus gave the new law.
First and foremost there was no more animal sacrifices, the very key and important ritual of the Jewish religion.
And the sermon on the mount details the giant shift in beliefs from hating and wanting to kill enemies like the Phillistines in the OT to loving your enemies and trying to save them.
