Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you really seem to be pouring churches, pastors, christians etc. into a mold. If you don't mind me asking when was the last time you were in a Christian church to worship? As far as music is concerned there is more varied styles of music in churches than one can keep track of.
As far as helping the poor of the world, I believe western Christian Churches have done incredible things.
One ministry I am familiar with and have supported goes into African Muslim villages, and with the blessing of village leaders, with $5000 built a well and a church. In one service in not such a large church (about 300-500)members $10000 was given to build two. This is isolated from a church in Clearwater, FL. Is the world better or worse from the actions of the Church?
