Unfortunately, that is a distorted view of historical christianity, not practiced during the first 1500 years after the ascension.
cherry picking scripture versus outside of the historic practices of the apostles and their successors in the church, skews one’s viewpoint.
But we (should) not be primarily interested in historic tradition, lest we become like the Jews of old who Jesus said had negated the scripture through their tradition (Mark 7:13). We should be interested in getting back to God's Word and the truth of the Gospel of the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:24). The reality of the true gospel is what the world is really looking for and power of the gospel is the ONLY thing that will save them (1 Corinthians 1:18, 2:4-5). (Of course I'm interested in their salvation, not necessarily their going to church, which follows later.)
