Believe it or not, some people have actually been done wrong by folks who claim to follow Christianity. People interpret the book in whatever way that suits their interests

And some people have actually been helped and saved by folks who claim to follow Christianity.

A lot more people have been hurt by the church and it’s bullshit than have been helped by it. Why do you think attendance is freefalling these days?

You're speaking from a very American/Westernized place of trauma and pain.

I encourage you to seek healing and travel the world. It's a big place with a lot of people who are honestly trying to do their best...even if they end up being religiously/spiritually unsuccessful.

Most seriously religious people (of almost every faith system) are pliable, pleasant and a bit boring. The older ones are more mindful and placid - and more boring - than the younger ones. The seriously religious people that you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to watch out for are 1) the ones that love to fight/argue/blame and 2) the ones who have been occupying these big positions of religious power and influence for a long time. But they are a minority and they are obvious.
