The other problem is that Christianity has become so toxic that it’s opened the door to other toxic religious practice. People wouldn’t be so against Christianity if it was still about helping the poor and disadvantaged.
There are Christians who still go about fulfilling the directions that Christ gave us. Those individuals are rarely noticed by anyone and are ardently ignored by everyone with a state sponsored soap box lest people learn what Christianity is at its core.
The Christianity that you label as "toxic" is not Christianity at all. It is an amalgam of New Age poppycock, the interpretations of Biblical Scripture presented by corporations, bits and pieces stolen from competing belief systems, and self justifications by individuals looking for an excuse for their own cupidity.
Christianity is not toxic. It is the only True path. The Christian Religionists who pervert the Faith, who exploit the Faith for personal gain, and who bow to Cultural pressure, suggesting that the Word is no longer relevant, are the problem.
So many so-called Christians worship gods of their own making, and false beliefs coupled with false practices have produced a mere facade of True Christianity. And yes, that false "Christianity" is indeed toxic.
The modern church has become toxic, I’m afraid. This is why the youth retention rate has fallen from 90% to less than 10%. The anti-LGBT focus is part of why people are leaving, as is the Trump worship emphasis in the US.
I think TPTB have already named this new religion as Chrislam! King Charles did not convey an Easter blessing, he, being head of the Church of England, yet he wished all muslims well for the end of Ramadan!
England as we know it is lost.
My immediate thought exactly.

Jesus isn’t toxic, in fact he was amazing.
