That is how most new branches of religion start. Instead maybe Christianity in its core is not what modern people think it is. The Bible itself is a collection and not a single written source. Think of it as a foss project that got forked early on, then a few people took parts of these forks and sample it into the versions we know today, which then also got forked with every translation.

So if you decide to do what said you should consider checking other religions such as Islam and see what you like there as well.

Christianity is pretty much not about Christ at all, it's about leveraging him to confer authority over the words of certain people.

My father in law is a member of the communist party and was a theology professor at a prestigious university, he's also a catholic and went to seminary (didn't become a priest though). Point is that there are absolutely leftist Christians out there. You can lead by example.

But also keep in mind that there have been people out there spreading these words, the problem is that when they get too influential, they get disappeared or murdered

You just need to ask yourself why you feel the need to add all the extra baggage of a "god" when you can do and believe all of those things without it?

I like imagining Jesus as a transgender man. Like, why would god have a Y chromosome?

I do get a little spiritual enjoyment out of it - the idea of a Christ like me, that I can aspire to be like - when I’m really stoned I can almost believe it.
