Humanistic approach to Mormonism

I was reading about different Buddhist orders recently, and came across this quote about Humanistic Buddhism:

Humanistic Buddhism seeks to create a Pure Land on earth. Instead of resting our hopes on being reborn in a Pure Land in the future, why don’t we work on transforming our world into a Pure Land of peace and bliss? Instead of committing all our energies to some later time, why don’t we direct our efforts toward purifying our minds and bodies right here and now in the present moment? Humanistic Buddhism focuses on the world right now, rather than on leaving the world behind, on caring for the living rather than caring for the dead, on benefitting others rather than benefitting oneself, and on liberating all beings rather than self-cultivation

It got me thinking that this is what I want the church to be. One of the major issues I have with the church is how little focus we put on charity and trying to make the world a better place.

We build temples around the world to advance our mission of salvation for the dead. But how many living people could we bless if we spent a little less on temples and more on helping the poor? Does our caring for the dead come at the expense of caring for the living?

There are some quite inspiring ideas from early church history. Sure, they had disasters like polygamy and the ill-fated attempts at banking. But there was also the dream of building Zion, a heavenly city on earth. The law of consecration was meant to eliminate poverty. People would be equals and live together in love. Now, the church has stockpiled billions and billions of dollars in a rainy day fund. What could we do if we still had that passion for creating a heaven on earth? What kind of world could we help create?

I guess it really comes down to what I want from religion. At this point I no longer care about the church being true, and I no longer worry about eternal salvation. I just want a religion that helps me become kinder and more charitable, and that gives me opportunities to make the world a better place.

Does this kind of Mormonism still exist? Is there still an element of the church focused on pure Christlike love and service rather than obedience, following leaders, and salvation? If so, how do we tap into it?
