Traditionalists likely ARE forsaking all those things. We have no hesitation in recognizing our faults and failings. The church is not full of perfect people; however we also (of course) sin. Sick people need a doctor and going to mass and praying to God is our medicine for the sin that ails us. Im sorry to see you are an anti-theist. God loves you and knows any pain you have suffered. He suffered with you. He is not against you. You may not believe in him but He believes in you. Anyone who may have hurt you and called themself a Christian was clearly not living up to the values that Christ and his church teach. Someone can call themself a vegitarian but if you see them eating a steak the title loses all credibility. Don't let the utter failure of us imperfect humans cut you off from life giving love. When humans let me down I turn to the word of God, the Bible, and let him speak directly to me.
