I don't believe christianity is actually capable of accomplishing that and I think that christians have been deceived into acting against their own interest. The Amish can be seen to be an unhappy society by the degree to which it is difficult to leave.

Thats generalizing.
Amish are actually encouraged to leave their communes in their late teens/20s and see the world. The brainwash there is strong. Alot go exploring and most come back for the values.
Theres a youtube series about that.

It is difficult to leave because their education fails to prepare them for the outside world. There are also social punishments for people who decide to leave. It is difficult to leave and Amish society creates that difficulty.
Social group cohesion is something which many people in our culture are missing/longing for. Might be a feature, not a bug.
Christians have been deceived in that they have mistaken the ethos of their specific church for the logos of the real world. Rational philosophy should align with the way the world works. If dishonesty necessary to maintain the culture it is false.
Monotheistic religions are designed to enhance group cohesion and raise birthrates of its followers. From an evolutionary stand point they are superiour to groups with moralic relativism and lower social cohesion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrsQY9Bw-kk
Money is a better monotheistic god because it still works even when everyone knows it's a shared idea and it enables greater group cohesion on large scales.
To you it's brainwashing, to them it's education. Your concept of morality might be seen as brainwashing by other humans beeings belonging to another group with different dogmas.
