Unfortunately, history hasn't shown that to be a popular choice. One might say that it should in theory, but misguided humans distort it. Of course that's the same excuse we hear from Communist apologists.
The Unitarians are the only religion I know of that seems to take those values seriously. Interestingly, they have no official dogma:

Btw, please don't take my comments as a personal criticism. I completely respect and would defend anyone's right to believe whatever they choose.
