Is Leviticus Babylonian?

I can't read Leviticus without my skin crawling, as it is full of black-magic rituals, where they murder animals to atone for sin, and its laws are off key as well.

When we compare what Moses was teaching in Exodus & Deuteronomy, it seems he was teaching that they could eat animals, as they had done in Egypt - if they blessed the animal, and sanctified their rituals.

We see in Numbers (which I believe could be recorded by historians of the 1st temple period) that they'd started to believe animal sacrifice could atone for sin - where we start getting prophets like Isaiah 1:11-18, declaring where did all these rituals come from.

By the time they went into Babylon, it started to be the Levitical priests main belief system, where they then correlated Leviticus from then.

After they came out of Babylon about 150 years later, the Pharisees & Sadducees came along building upon these faulty mechanisms.

The Essenes challenged these belief systems, and were known as the Nazar-Essenes, where they kept a permanent Nazarite vow of no coming near death (no alcohol, meat, vinegar, etc).

Yeshua & John the Baptists came from the Nazar-Essenes (Nazarenes), where they challenged these three faulty Shepherds sacrificial belief systems (Pharisees, Sadducees, Levites) - as prophesied in Zechariah 11.
