When I was young I did not understand the Christian religion and looked down on it, but the older I get the more I understand and respect it.

It's not about believing in the Catholic church of the pope which is a corrupt institution, it's about respecting your culture, because whether you like it or not your culture is Christianity.

On the other hand, there is no teaching of Jesus that is harmful, on the contrary, whether you believe that Jesus is the son of God or not, no doubt he was a great philosopher and a great rebel who fought against the established power, I have no doubt that Jesus would be a Bitcoiner.

Came to the same conlusion. 🫡

Pienso igual. Hay que respetar nuestras tradiciones, es lo que somos, y también los ideales que les damos a nuestros hijos, sobre todo ahora que quieren islamizar Europa y wokizar a nuestros hijos. La religión parecía una patraña cuando eramos pequeños, pero cuando eres adulto aprendes a mirar mas allá del dedo.

Your journey is similar to my own. Raised Catholic, disillusioned with the hierarchy and idol worship and greed of the church, leading me to falsely conclude that God does not exist.

I sought out to re-read the Bible, but was gratefully advised to read the Gospels first rather than start with Genesis. The words of Jesus are the absolute good. Our existence here isn't so complicated as we make it. Jesus gives us the advice we need to avoid strife, and gave us the only prayer that we need - to be thankful for the bountiful resources that we have in this plane of existence, to be forgiven for our imperfections while not judging one another for theirs, and most importantly, to be delivered from, yet notably not to eliminate, evil.

I'm not sure that Jesus would concern Himself with the coin of this plane of existence, but He would certainly continue to remind us that nothing physical in this plane is greater than what has been provided to us, especially the gift of free will.
