Is this sentence with two woulds grammatically correct?

"As easy as it would be to return to Christian patriarchy, I don't think most people would be delighted."

Or is it better if I say: "As easy as it was to.. ?"

it's redundant but if anything it's "delighted" that's the poor choice here.

I think it should be 'the Christian system of patriarchy', and delighted sounds wrong in that sentence. You also haven't explained why it would be easy.

You can have "would" twice in the same sentence. There is no reason against it. Using "As easy as it was" would give the sentence a different meaning.

Thanks for the answers! And yes, that's a poor sentence I came up with.
