The reality is that qualification of 'Christianity' is a red-herring. Christianity, regardless of the flavour, is as all other religions are simply a human construct of codes that lay down how people should live.

There is no evidence of any 'God' or 'gods' ever having existed and as our knowledge expands it becomes less and less probable that such is the case.

Religion is perpetuated by conditioning and because it has been used with the connivance of rulers and the State to better control the masses for the privilege of the few.

There are passages in your piece that refer to what you consider to be 'true' Christianity, i.e. as opposed to "The Lie of American Christianity". These passages actually refer to attitudes & behaviours that have no need of religion of any sort and which, by many, are contrary to their teachings.

Caring, sharing, accepting, assisting, supporting, befriending, and etc. are all possible without any religion or need for a belief system.

Blind faith is exactly that: blind. Just as a horse with blinkers on cannot see what is around it, so those who claim true 'faith' are similarly unaware that there is no 'God' or 'gods' or 'Answer', only life & an infinity of questions.
