people piled into a car and it was driven off a bridge. All cars are death traps.
When it passed on, off the bridge, it was still on the road that the bridge was built for and arrived safely at it's destination further down the road.
The same argument could be made for paganism, or humanism, or other philosophies. What makes Christianity special that couldn't be achieved by, say, Mithraism?
Who cares? Why do you need to get rid of it? How is it bothering you?
I don't care about about bowling, but I don't give a crap if other people do.
If Christianity is helping, great, let's keep it. I'm not sure that it is though. If even the most traditionalist man Catholics can produce, E. Michael Jones, still claims that race isn't real, I'm not sure what good they are. He points out that for hundreds of years the church sheltered jews under the dogma of "sicut judeus non", yet they offered no such protection to pagans and instead actively hunted anyone they thought was practicing the faith of their ancestors, then it seems a lot of our current troubles can be laid at their feet.
Firstly, you just conceded. Secondly, moral absolutism. Beyond that the answer is deep, and long and is on you to learn the basics of theologinistic study and what it brings to the table.
Jumping off point;

No I didn't. Weak tactic.

That'd work if there was one Christian sect, and it was consistent through time. Instead you've got hundreds of sects, and they vary wildly through time. To the point that Lutherans reject Martin Luther's last book, Catholics reject hundreds of years of doctrine, and you've got faggot priests dancing on tiktok from all over. And at any sign of disagreement, the churches split and now there's another group with different moral rules. Why do they do this?
Because when they did act with moral absolutism, they created religious civil wars that devastated Europe for hundreds of years, depopulating entire regions of Germany, France, Bohemia and others. Religious tolerance was hard won, but without intolerance Christianity wouldn't exist, since they could only spread and dominate through intolerance of the Greco-Roman or Germanic pagan religions of their ancestors or the naturalist philosophies (like Epicureanism) of their learned scholars.
