I left the UMC 16 years ago when I finally realized what the UMC really was. Never looked back.
“United Methodist Church” is a misnomer. It should be called “United Methodist Party”. At its top levels the UMC is an ultra-liberal political party with little concern for Christian teachings.
At the local level the UMC is a country club with little concern for Christian teachings that focuses on providing social activities for its members.
You're wrong about this for all the local Methodist Churches I'm familiar with. I gross generalization.
