Na Christianity will be fine
It'll just add to the branches of christianity. When people have their own interpretations, new one pops up.

Personally, I find it fascinating how many versions of Christianity have come from the Bible.

Problem here: tell others to shut up usually won't work, and has the opposite effect
Hence a solution
would be to tell the good ones to 'shut up' about speaking the truth (if they 'shut up' when requested to speak out) Its known that to change the world we better change ourselves
My Master told us "IF you see injustice and do nothing about it, you are as guilty"

According to some Hindu Scriptures Love (real Love) is the panacea for all problems

And are bigger people a bigger problem, or would it be the smaller ones causing the big problems?Which is why it's "THE biggest problem"

No, he did not say that, he gave a positive solution "create new ones"
Atheism started small, and quite a major belief system nowadays (belief as in 'lack of belief' to be a solution)

Indeed Thinking "I alone am right" is a major troublemaker

I agree...almost. Technically, the latter is a product of the former.
Having ego is a product of being a human. So ego in and of itself isn't actually the problem. What the problem is, as I see it, is the inability (as a result of ignorance of what ego is or what it does) or lack of willingness to manage it...to be a servant of it...and to perform actions driven by it.
We see ego flexing its muscle right here on this forum. People tend to think that they have the correct answer to any given scenario. People like to be right, even if they aren't. Opposing political views on the issues listed in the OP are evidence of this.
You must be psychic, knowing what I was going to post above and demonstrating the points in that post.
Thank you for that.
I will add
1) Ecological destruction
2) Global climate change
3) Population growth and ageing.
4) AI and automation
to this list. Take a look here

According to the Bible, God is love. God promises to solve the problems, by means of his kingdom, and he demonstrated it, by means of his appointed king Christ Jesus.

I couldn't agree with you more. They would have to be quiet on their own, and I am well aware that won't happen.
What 'should' happen almost never does, and I made my peace with that a long time ago.
I found it used to be productive to ask people "why are you doing this" with sincerity, but I'm not sure if that would still work. I'm awfully hermited and unaware of how things work anymore.
