There are churches that operate that way, yes. Christianity is an ideology just like Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. You can take it to extremes, or you can realize it for what it is:
An ideology meant to unify the populace towards a common goal of preservation of your society. Without Christianity, there wouldn't be a "Western Culture", and without that, there would be no freedom. Without freedom, we'd all be speaking either Arabic, or Cantonese, and the few remaining refugees would be asking Putin to let them in.
