To put it simply, in Christianity no one is above the "Law" of God. You can be the richest, most powerful man in the world, you can still go to Hell if you do wrong. While systems from the Vikings to the Egyptians to the Romans have specifications about some people not having a chance whatsoever for their respective "heavens".
If you actually look at the message of Christianity, there are a couple lines about homosexuality, and thousands about helping the poor. A great number of charities and shelters are Christian. Again, nothing is all black or all white and it is pretty tiring to see both sides demonizing the other at every turn.
