Christianity did not originate as the "white man's religion". It was/is an amalgamation of various beliefs and practices, including indigenous African spirituality.

The religious indoctrination of slaves largely hinged on the distribution of highly-edited Slave Bibles with most of the Old Testament removed or forbidding slaves being taught to read as standard practices, because slaveholders feared that reading the Bible in fuller context might cause slaves to identify with the Israelites and incite them to revolt. And that's exactly what happened often enough.
What was used as a tool of oppression was also instrumental in spearheading slave rebellions, civil rights movements and demands for liberation and justice; a double-edged sword.
Such are these things.
It's quite apparent to me that the majority Black American do not accept the white supremacist iteration of Christianity.
I struggle to see why any black Christian would entertain being lectured by some uninformed, hateful, not-so-covertly racist white atheist's on such matters. Even if OP could compel masses of black folks to abandon their religion beliefs, there's no reason assume that that most of them would be lining up to cape for his particular white, atheistic, garbage worldview.
I'm a non-believer myself, and I'd sooner align with thoughtful, moderate Christians (or believers of most any stripe, actually) than screeching, rabidly anti-theist white atheists.
They're on some next-level bullshit--easily among my least favorite kind of white people--and I have no intention of my energy being used to assist whatever fuckery they're looking to advance.
That shit's for the dumb birds at BLM....heh heh.
