That you're gullible.
Faith is belief in lieu of evidence.
The book you love was written by man.
The stories in it were made up by man.
The money you donate goes to fund a mans extravagant lifestyle.
It's conspiracy 101.

You have a dangerously poor understanding of Christian history. It's not a unified religious front, it is a bunch of sects consisting of things varying from cults no different from sun god faiths, people like you, Muslims, and the Baal-worshiping Hyskos who merged their own religion with ideas from the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and some of the other Christian ideas. And it just happens that these Baal worshiping hyskos were the original church and the ones in charge. They are not compromised -- these people have an entire history of rabbis keeping boy harems that are inherited to their Roman-Vatican iterations, the popes and priests, among other things.
Also speaking of all of the hippie stuff you mentioned, these are all Hindu practices rather than "edgy atheist" practices. I dunno when did they begin to inherit the Hindu religion for their own agendas, but it would be easy if they originated from there. People don't originate from desert areas like Israel. They move to there.
It's always nice to have non-Christians explain to me what the Christian faith and history is. How many Churches did Jesus establish? Have you heard of the apostolic Church of the first millennia? There was only one Church before the Great schism of 1054 and as far as Orthodox Christians are concerned - it still continues to be one, because the Church, being the body of Christ, isn't subject to change and division. Those who seceded and adopted heterodox teachings fell away from the Church - be it Aryans, Manicheans, Nestorians, Gnostics, Muslims, Talmudic jews, Catholics, Protestants, etc.
The comparative approach you adopt assumes any likeness between two religious traditions is due to cultural influence and seeks to prove one originates from another based on this which is a genetic fallacy. It's also a word-concept fallacy because it assumes the same words and symbols used refer to the same or similar concepts and share similar meaning (no, Christ is not a "Sun god" or Sol Invictus, but the Son - the second person of the only God who is Trinity; the greek logos is not the Christian Logos nor is the teaching of the soul; the Egyptian idea of afterlife has nothing to do with the Heavenly Kingdom of God).
