You don’t need Christianity to be a good person. And it has enables too many people to do terrible things. Not sure you can split it into real/fake.
You also don't need Christianity to be a bad person. There are many other non-religious excuses for doing bad things.
I don't. But some people do. If it brings out the good in them, where's the harm? And yes, there is real and fake. Real is following the actual actual teachings, fake is using them for self gain.

That seems fair, christianity has done enough in terms of sexism, racism, homophobia, genocide, pedophilia, ... no need to point out others religions

Are you seriously saying Mr. Roger's was a pedophile?
I'm seriously saying that the institution of Christianity is well known for housing and protecting pedophiles.
