Participating in any Christianity props up and validates the bad ones.
That said, if you really are the “good ones” then I wish you luck in fixing the rest of Jesus’ stray flock. And I hope you personally get the chance to fix some of them.
I don’t want to fix anybody. I want to do my best and be with other people who also feel that way, in an inclusive and completely welcoming way to all. I absolutely hate the bastardized version of Christianity it has become for many and I won’t stand for it.
This right here. There are no good participants in religion. Everyone participating, no matter their intent or actions, is s part of the problem. Because they enable the bad behavior by supporting the underlying common beliefs and adding some degree of legitimacy to this.

Well that’s a shame. As a fellow Christian you’re in the unique position to “call in” your peers and actually be listened to.

It’s the same problem with ACAB
You don’t “fix” other people. You fix yourself. That’s all you have any control over.
You don’t control other people, but you constantly influence them.
Isn’t the whole point of a pastor to encourage other people to be their best selves? Isn’t that fixing them?
Encourage, sure. Control, no. As was implied.
