Yeah, true, wiith a remark that Christianity was not an institution in the very beginning. There were self-organized rebellious group of people without strict hierarchy. Then as it became more popular, tyrants turned it on their side to support existing world order. A classic story

One individual can live with religion or spirituality in religious form, but not humanity as a whole. There were experiments in totalitarian countries to violently exterminate religion, they didn't end up well. Usually it's brainwashing and freedom of conscience denial

I don't know how modern progressive religious communities address these very important mental health and lack of self-love issues, but i grew up in a conservative one, and even there i remember reading or hearing interpretation of a phrase "love your neighbor as yourself" as you should love yourself as well—and if you don't, you would not be able to love others. I'm sure that what you've said has a place to be, but community and people around play higher role than abstract beliefs imo
