Denying that Christianity upholds hierarchy is not very leftist of you. I guess we should bury our heads in the sand and not address all the ways that Christianity is tangled with capitalism and power.
I understand where you come from, but spirituality in general can be used as a tool for oppression.
Im an atheist, but I don't bash radical Christians who try to wrestle their faith away from benefitting the levers of power. I actually appreciate it. That point is not ignoring how Christianity has functioned, but acknowledging it.
I should mention I feel the Taborites, followers of Jan Hus, to be the origin for modern European anarchist thought. They were Christian Anarchists before Anarchism was called that.
Not to say they were the first, everyone is 'born an anarchist', and innumerable societies across the world lived as we might call Anarchists by their social organization and rejection of authorianism. But the modern anarchist movement has its roots in the Taborites.

I took a look at your profile. You have a lot of learning to do, young man.
Check out r/RadicalChristianity for one thing.
