The idea that the divine Logos would incarnate into an individual human being was the starting point for all Humanist thought.

>Is the New Testament a rejection of religion

in some ways yes. jesus seems to go against many of the existing conventions and practices of religion at the time. but ultimately his intention is not to abolish religion, but to establish it universally so people realise their commonality rather than their separation. he extends the covenant to gentiles and therefore to all humanity:

>And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

without this veil to separate us, we realise

>There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

>and the basis for Western morality

yes

>and Individualism?

there's more a collectivist vibe to the new testament desu
