No, i do not.If you have investigated Gnostic Christianity, do you agree that from a moral POV, they are the superior Christian theology thanks to equality and Universalism?
What i see in your post is marketing. You're claiming your product is more palatable to modern morality.
But while i may agree with the bullet points of your morality, it's still based on a great big assumption i find hard to swallow. So there's no great advantage to one system over another, if i don't share that assumption. To join with or approve of a religion, i'd have to have some reason to think they're right, not just easier to swallow.
Don't take this wrong, but glossier, longer-lasting lipstick on the pig doesn't make it any more fun to kiss.
You kiss pigs!
Just kidding.
No religion is right except to those in it.
Gnostic Christian are no more right than the next guy. The trick and what I sell is to internalize whatever belief you hold and by doing so you will see the Universality of all religions. Religions all have the same dish but just served in a variety of ways. In this, they match secular systems and governments who also all serve the same dish but in different ways.
If you have read a bit of sociology then you will know that most normal people are not all that different from a moral standpoint. This clip shows this.
