As you choose to see it.

Historically, all of those things have quite naturally flowed from it. For instance, Christianity has been plagued by anti-Semitism its entire existence. It has been far more commonly a tool of oppression and domination, lauded by Christians like yourself when it finally succeeds in overcoming these historical tendencies to "return" to "authentic" faith.

I don't think it is wise to ignore or deny the true history of your religion.
