I am just insisting that the authentic Christianity is the one of the teachings, not the one of the people who fail to live up to them.
(I would also contend it is probably not as bas as you are saying. We will get into that in a minute.)
I think it's acutally the case that Christians tended to be very tolerant of divergent lifestyles in comparison to other religions that wielded political power, like Islam, or even what we see from political Judaism today in Gaza.
Christianity trended toward the secularizing the government, and it also traditionally tolerated all manner of sexual vice. 17th century England and France were pretty wild places, so was late Renaissance Italy, and this is quite different from the excesses of the Confucianists in the Song Dynasty or the Buddhits in the late Tang or late Tong Shilla dynasties in the sense that Buddhism was a very low intensity religion throughout the far East and Mahayana Buddhism tended towards endorsing transparently false and unbuddhist doctirnes when it comes to Buddhist soteriology (or should I say 'Nirvanology? lol)
I don't understand this sentence.
Nothing you've said here contradicts what I said. Promoting Christianity works against your goal of promoting Christian virtues.
