The best I can do to make sense of what you’re saying is that you’re looking at some of the worst of church leaders (eg. MAGA pastors in America, historical popes, etc), and seeing Christianity as that. If I’ve got that wrong, please correct me.

If that’s what you’re saying, that’s a massive over generalization, to the point where it’s willful. I do agree that there are church leaders out there who see leading a congregation purely as a way to gain some authority, but that is far from all of Christianity.
