Would Jesus Himself Like What Christianity Has Become?

I often wonder if Jesus would like what Christianity has become. Do think his followers have made Christianity into something he would be ashamed of? You see especially in america today that Christianity has become against so many things. It has for the most part become a religion of "anti's". Anti-science, anti-birth control, anti-femenism, anti homosexual, anti-democrat, and on and on and on...Is this what Jesus wanted Christianity to be? Did Jesus want Christianity to become a religion of conformity to a polical or social ideology? Are believers today forgetting what Christianity is about? Have Christians made it into a turn off for the world and others? Is there anything believers can do to refocus Christianity on Christ and what He thinks?
