Jewel,
I don’t think you really have a problem with Christianity, but with those who choose to interpret His Word for their own faulty biased reasons.
If “authorities”, are not in fact really in authority but under THE Authority of God just like those under them, this levels the playing field and equalizes all the parties being addressed. And if everyone is addressed equally as a person in Christ, ultimately is no hierarchy among them.
The only distinctions would be those perceived by someone’s interpretation.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” according to Gal.3:28.

I hope you continue to read Cheryl’s blog.
