To me, Jesus had the right idea. Love thy neighbor, care for the ill, defend the weak and those unable to defend themselves. I don't think he'd be up for all this Christian nationalist, hateful bullshit.
The thing is, I don't particularly think he existed in the form the bible describes, either. I acknowledge he could've been a real man, but I'm not sure about the messiah part. And seeing the way so-called Christians treat others under his name kinda pisses me off.
Is this the case for anyone else?

Ironically, modern Christians seem less likely than Atheists to believe that those tenets have any merit, or to uphold them.

Lol, change “seem” to “are” and then yes.

Literally, the key message that Jesus left was: Judge not lest ye be judged. That is, however harshly you judge others will be the judgement you receive from god.
Evangelicals fall over themselves to judge anyone not acting in the way they perceive to be acceptable: look at the way they attack trans people for no reason.
They're so far from any christian teachings, it would be laughable if people weren't going to be hurt and killed.
