You sir/madam are what is wrong with Christianity. You sound like a Pharisee that Jesus denounced as a brood of vipers. Shame on you.
Rest easy, the OP does not claim to be a Christian, nor do they consider the Bible authoritative.
So, they aren't really what is wrong with Christianity, they are what is wrong with theism in general.

Another problem with Christianity is, if it was actually true, is that the Christian god (according to some interpretations), inflicts infinite punishment for finite thought crimes.
