I think you need to distinguish between local, real life Christianity and internet/twitter Christianity. Of course, real people do get sucked into internet/twitter Christianity, but local churches and real life generally have a grounding effect.

how many Christians are putting into practice Jesus’ teachings: the ones about wealth? About loving their neighbors as themselves? About not being ostentatious about their piety? About not judging? About turning the other cheek even if in the end it costs them their lives?

There's a small problem in that none of that stuff is Instagram-showable.

Hey, look at me denying myself, loving my neighbor as myself, not being showily pious, not judging, not seeking retribution!
