Yeah, same here. I have nothing against true believers, but most people just follow some rituals blindly without adhering to core Christian values, priests in most cases can't offer any spiritual guidance. With a few exceptions it all looks like a facade.
And given the history of organization I have little trust in it.

I can't say anything about the 🇺🇦 part of the story as I'm not too well versed, but I agree that this schism was a good idea, considering how Kremlin managed to turn Church into a tool of political oppression and crowd-control.
The law "against desecration" and how it was used in later years (in a secular country😏) is a disaster and the fact that it was supported by the Church is a stain that would be hard to wash off, not that someone's currently trying.
