This article fell apart for me when I got to: “fundamental myth … crawling through the bowels of modern religions such as Christianity” as in my understanding to equate these myths of hard-work=success, and no need to fight for earthly justice, etc with Christianity is a gross misunderstanding of what Christianity is. However, it certainly not an uncommon understanding; so, in that sense you’re correct.

I would actually say that those myths comes much closer to matching with much more modern religions such as Islam, Mormonism, etc. (i.e. non-Christian religions). That is, all these religions say you have to work hard to get into heaven, Christianity doesn’t say that; however, there are plenty of people in power positions of so-called Christianity that say that.

I suggest one read Jesus’ words and understand the context he spoke them as opposed to what these church power mongers say he said.
