That's one way to frame it, and definitely one i feel a lot of the religious community using their piety to mask the still growing stockpile of skeletons in their closet likes to lean on.

But I prefer to frame it as we are not inherently defined by our past mistakes, no matter what they were, so long as we have genuinely repented of them and make a real, lasting effort to change and be better.

It's one thing to learn from mistakes and grow to be a better person and while many people who do follow Christianity likely do try to be better people.

The fact that the religion teaches that the only thing that matters is to believe in God, then you can be as awful as a person as long as you believe in God. Which is ultimately why you can run into some truly evil Christians.
