First, "most people" are not Christian. Only about a third of the world's population is Christian.
If you believe God wants you to follow the rules in Leviticus, I assume you never work on Saturday (23:3), shave or trim your beard (19:27), allow your hair to become untidy (10:6), remain seated in the presence of the elderly (19:32), mistreat a foreigner (19:33-34), wear polyester-cotton clothing (19:19), or eat fat, chicken, pork, or shellfish (3:17, 11:4-7, 11:10-12).
Most Christians pick and choose which of the rules in Leviticus they need to follow. They use various illogical justifications to explain why they break some rules, but if God is eternal, unchanging, and all-knowing, why did he bother giving the rules to the Jews in the first place?
I'm not surprised it's hard for you to accept the petty nonsense of Leviticus as reflecting the sort of things an all-powerful cosmic deity is really concerned about.
The solution is simple: accept that the Bible is all bullshit.
