That looks bad on the surface, but each PCUSA church is its own church. The denomination owns the property and bank accounts, so a congregation can’t just quit the PCUSA and join the PCA without starting from scratch. But, each church calls its pastors so they can control how liberal they want to be. I know one PCUSA church that flies a rainbow flag and another one 15 miles away that has in their statement of faith that marriage is between one man and one woman.

The PCA fixes the problem by letting each congregation own its own property so if we ever go off the rails, the congregations can change the sign and be done with the denomination.

So, the PCUSA leadership is anti-Christian, but you need to examine each church individually to make that claim. Of course, you could find someone who would declare your church to be anti-Christian too.
