As for the banana problem there is a third choice, eating half and tossing the rest. You didnt eat the entire thing nor did you waste the entire banana, feeding it to someone else is also valid.
As such it is also a good comparison for religon as you can also enjoy half of said banana without eating the entire fruit. I enjoy the best parts of christianity without embracing it in its entirety.
Perhaps your problem is that Islam was the religion you fell out from. Islam is if the entity of Christian religon was the old testament and there wasn't an addendum of the new testament. You were made to fear God as the harbinger of both the begining and the end. Chistians were afraid of God but in the new testament god reincarnated himself as jesus to learn what it was like to actually be human. Through this experience he learned that it sucked being mortal. Jesus wasn't a warlord just a person who healed. You can be LGBT and Christian you can be whatever you want in God's eyes, and the person who judges you on earth might be a person but the person does not reflect the views on God.
For full disclosure I'm agnostic but I realise there is a heavy need for Christian and protestant views for shaping the morality of people.
IIN to hate God and consider him nothing but a patriarchal dictator?
