I think you would find that your only beef here is with the Catholic church, since the protestant churches formed in "protest" of the Catholics.
Even they had the good sense to see that Catholicism was evil.
Actually, the Reformation kicked off not because people felt the Church was 'evil' per se, but that it was corrupt. Even Luther never accused the Papacy of suborning things like child abuse or child murder. His beef was the selling of indulgences, along with nepotism within the hierarchy, etc.
Thankfully, we now have a whole raft of Protestant churches, none of which show the slightest sign of corruption.
