Isn't there a story in the Bible where Jesus kicks the merchants out of a church and punches them?

He flipped over tables and straight up whipped the merchants and money changers calling them thieves.

Jesus is irrelevant to ------ianity.

Leviticus & Romans, that's all you need.

Nah, it's situational. Parts are relevant when they need to be and irrelevant when they need to be. It's convenient like that.

Jesus and the teachings of christianity in any of its forms are irrelevant to a functional modern society. Anyone who uses any parts of the bible beyond a few cherry-picked, out of context, touchy-feely bits as a foundation for their morality is almost certain to be a worse person for it.
