That religion is Christianity that best describes that, not the one I was
raised in.

I beg to differ on this claimmed achievement, since I have seen in many posting here a generalized conception that Christianity is and has been the only path. For evidence of that please see my first quote of yours:
"Apparently you are oblivious to what religion has been telling people for millenia: you are a sinner," --that has been a central principle of Christianity, and is the sole inventor of 'original sin;-which is what you are refering to, whether you realize it or not.
Give me an example of a spiritual problem. I am thinking that "spirtual problems" are at their root material problems. (Often involving common things such as deficts or excesses of neurotransmitters or a dearth of zeros in one's bank accounts.)
