My choice has no impact on how others engage with me in the community. If I am the lone good Christian in society then society will hate me and mistreat me. Living will not be as great as if society was full of good Christians. How others choose to be impacts me. That is why forcing behaviors on others is paramount to a healthy society. Good though doesn't need to be forced so much as forcing evil out of society should be. The Bible speaks of the devil as temptation toward evil paths. We live in a society that not only encourages all forms of temptation toward evil but gives incentive to not be good. The end result is a society that encourages evil and oppresses good. That is because our leaders are evil. If we don't want to live in an evil society then we must change our leaders so our society can start promoting good instead of evil.
Seriously, your understanding of Christianity is very off-base. The very core of Christianity is that choosing to follow Christ must be a personal decision. It cannot be forced. It cannot be stipulated. Unlike other religions, Christians do not condone forced conversions through violence and other such means.
How can a lone Christian then make a difference? By evangelising. By revealing the Truth to others so they to can enjoy God's love. And in doing so, you will create the world that is worth living in. And yes, if you live as a lone Christian you might be hated. You might be persecuted. But you do it because you know it's right.
The choice is yours. Continue complaining about race and genetics if you like. Distance yourself from God if you like. But remember that is the choice you have made. No one else is to blame. Not the "leaders". Not "society". Not black or brown people. Not Jews. You.
That's cool, in any event, what happens in reality is based on what others do not based on what I think. People do in fact have influence on others including Christians. Should the Crusaders have simply died and not affected change on their communities? I understand Christianity fine. I believe it is you who does not because your take on Christianity is the very fake Christianity that the current leadership tricked people into following. Much of modern "Christianity" is Satan's work not Gods. The Pope is not Catholic.
In addition to the Bible, there are thousands of years of Christian theology and philosophy there for you to peruse, all still available. If you truly think that current Christianity is fake, you can choose to explore that path to find God instead of simply whining about the Pope and Jews. But you haven't. (You probably haven't even read anything the Pope or his recent predecessors has actually written, and instead are basing your opinions on second hand reports from sources that may have their own agendas).
Anyway, you've made your choice. In the end, it's your life, not mine. I'll leave it at that.

I've already found God. I'm good. Now onto the next order of business, fixing society. Do you want to help me or do you want to get in my way?
