Interesting statement 'not all of Christianity is good'.
What part is bad, and how do you define bad or what is good?
Christianity is the only religion that offers eternal life through the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is based on God's free offer of eternal life. It is neither earned nor deserved. All other religions are based on man's efforts to be 'good' based on his own definition of what 'good' is.
Indeed. That is one of the major reasons people left Europe to come to America,
so they could worship without government compulsion.
Today freedom of speech is being attacked more than ever before, with the cancel culture, and restrictions on social media platforms, but right behind that is the attack on houses of worship. Of course the communists want to control every aspect of our lives, including what we are allowed to think. We must continue to fight for our freedoms. Thanks for your post.
I'm afraid you won't find many Christians that feel any need to "prove" their assertions, because the "proof" you seek is only delivered at the spiritual level.
Or put another way: many Christians are Christians because they have experienced a bonafide spiritual awakening, such as meeting Jesus face-to-face, hearing the audible voice of God, having visions, etc.
To us, these experiences are the "proof", but we cannot provide such proof to you other than as anecdotes, which you would likely dismiss out of hand.
The post may not be about which religion is true, but to those of us who have experienced God, we know that Christianity is the absolute truth, beyond contestation.
I'm still interested to hear your thoughts on what aspects of Christianity are bad, and engage with you in a light debate over those items, if you're game.
With regards to your original post, last sentence - Freedom is never absolute, there are always restrictions, because absolute freedom for all is just anarchy. So actually you're wrong on this point - a society most certainly gets to impose its will on others to restrict freedoms. Let's discuss!

Well put. I'll be interested to see how OP responds...
IF he responds, it may open an opportunity to present the truth of the Gospel. We shall see. Thanks for your response.
