What's the problem with the belief system? Sounds like in your eyes, the best Christianity is no Christianity.

Probably the cherry-picking of which beliefs to follow based on convenience, rather than just wanting to be a better person for the sake of it.

You could just follow all of them. Although it's incredibly difficult, as Christianity basically demands perfection.

If you followed all the things the Bible says you soils do, you’d probably be in prison and rightfully so

Which denomination would you like me to focus on to answer this question?

And yes, frankly I think in a lot of cases no Christianity in the modern era would be better than none.

At its best it’s an antiquated belief system that has no real world applications in our world. It’s only good moral messages are common sense things you should already know, the rest is just filler and opinions and fictions, concocted, edited and man made books, picked by committees of old religious leaders and oligarchs. The teachings of Christianity have done nothing but fuel colonizers and monsters throughout history
