The ones that are "liberal". That state that "unity is more important than doctrine". Universalist churches, PCUSA, obviously the "new" Episcopalians and Methodists.
OTOH, don't forget Rev 2. Many churches w/ sound doctrines have forgotten their first Love. Southern Baptists may have many good doctrines, but they seem to worship those more than God.

This is one question that I do not want to answer, simply because of the sheer volumes that trying to answer this question will produce.
For one, defining a false Christian is very difficult to put down into guidelines since many are able to overcome them. If, for example, we were to put a guideline that "one must clearly be able to make a conscious decision to accept Christ," this would make the majority of Catholics false as they were baptized into Catholicism at an age where they cannot make a conscious decision of anything, yet many are able to make this conscious decision later. At the same time, the standards we could set for true Christianity may not accurately determine a true Christian from those guidelines alone. Thus, deciding the church that harbors the most false Christians is but a futile exercise, especially when we make the worst judges of such... Case in point...
"Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' " -Matthew 7: 22
Certainly we would regard such as super-Christians, but...
"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' " - Matthew 7: 23
At the same time, focusing on the sins of others distracts you from what is important: your own standing before God...
"And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." -Luke 13: 2-3
Thus, the question you should truly ask is not "What churches harbor false Christians?" but rather "Am I a true Christian or not?"
As for which doctrine is true or false, the best criterion is the Bible; "Is this doctrine in harmony with the entirety of the Bible, both in Word and in Spirit?" From here alone, when you take away the theologies, the cathecisms and the references and studies made after the Word, you can clearly see what is of God and what is of man. As I am not familiar with the entirety of doctrine behind each and every denomination, the criterion posed earlier should suffice as a starting point...

Jesus didn't make a religion. He didn't Create "Christianity. He just gave a teaching.
Other people took the teaching and made out of it a "religion".
Other people took the religion and made out of it, Church or system of exploitation of the masses.
Because there were conflicts of interests (who is gonna have the "top Chair"?) the church was divided and became many churches. So, every head of each church tries to convince us that he is right....and all the rest are wrong. Reason????? to get the "dollar" despite they claim that they do what they do just for the salvation of our souls.
The answer to your question? All the churches.... or...... Halls...try to pass their own "story" for their own benefit.
Christian Doctrine? There is not a true one.
There is only Jesus' teaching.
The question remains. How shall I find the teaching in so many bibles that have been tampered through the centuries by the "Systems"?

A personal opinion only.....I have spent decades searching for a home as it pertains to Church.
Almost all of the Protestant denominations are filled with false teaching. How can someone disagree with a church and simply pull out, go down the street, and start a new one? There are now between 40,000 and 50,000 different Protestant Christian denominations. Talk about division!
There is One Christ, One Head of the Church, and One Church. There is One Head, and only One Body. I found it when I attended my first Catholic Mass.

Revelation 17:5 (King James Version)
5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
.... this church.. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, because "church" is address as female in the bible and this church is the mother of all false churches that branch out into small little harlots.. the mother of all unbiblical rituals... the mother of all invented miracles and doctrines.. the mother of all idolaters... and even the name they are ashamed to be called christians that is why they gave a new name and call themselves catholics

Christians are basically like various team of folk you pick to look at from nuns to whores, and from clergymen to new child molesters. the only distinction is that if i'm a real Christian, i attempt to stay it, no longer in elementary terms communicate it. Blessed Be

first the bible says how can u judge unless you be judge but i will tell you what the bible says about false teaching in Galatians1;9 it says if any man preach any other gospel besides the word of the lord unto you, they will be accursed. in Matthew7;21-23 say not everyone that say unto me lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, many will say lord i have prophesied in your name, cast out demons, and have done many works and then the lord says i will say i never you depart from me you that work iniquity. So when its all said and done the lord will be the judge of all those who lead his sheep astray that blood will be on their hands so really that's nothing that we Christians should worry about that why the bible says study to show yourself approved. If what a preacher preach about is not scriptural and based on Gods word you know it isn't true
