I hear you!
There's a good exception to that rule though, the satanic temple (https://thesatanictemple.com/)! They're doing wonders using religion to push actual good values, they're mission is rather nice:
"The Mission Of The Satanic Temple Is To Encourage Benevolence And Empathy, Reject Tyrannical Authority, Advocate Practical Common Sense, Oppose Injustice, And Undertake Noble Pursuits."
Homosexuality isn't immoral there.. just conisder the huge banner right in the middle of their site. :)
They're a nice counter weight to the "regular" religions really.
I would advise against TST, their leadership is problematic. There are other orgs which are similar but without the problematic leader(s).
For example, their owner and leader recently invited a friend of his, a known transphobe, on a tour of TST HQ then, when some members complained refused to apologise. TST members are generally good people but the leadership has a disturbing amount of alt-right links.
shit, really? they're doing such good work tbat genuinely aligns with my religious views. do you have links to any of this controversy?
iiluminaghtii did a video on it, although im aware that she has also been the subject of controversy herself.
so it seems... that's most of what comes up on youtube. I'll do a deeper dive, thank you
