Part of the reason for the inversion, is that most religious mythologies are written by the dominant powers, from the lens of those in power, while Christianity was composed from the lens of powerless. It's why Nietzche views Christianity as slave revolt in values. An age in which we praise the values of the powerful, to an elevation of the values of the powerless. Much of our liberal moral frames, are descendants of this revolt.

It also why black slaves were able to find some self-identification with Christ on the cross, in ways the dominant white culture couldn't.
