I'm not too focused on it's use, intended or incidental. I see a good story for what it is. That they decided to use a good story for such a shitty purpose is just par for the course with abrahamism, as far as I'm concerned. The folks who came up with it could have been actual saints and wanted nothing but good to come of it and the abrahamists would have said "fuck that, we're not doing that, we're doing this instead".
I think that the circumstances and interactions that shape/constrain religious movements privilege bad actors in general. That theistic religions last for as long as they do in direct proportion to how grimey they're willing or eager to get. That they don't swirl the drain so much as fling themselves headfirst into the sewer knowing full well that the minute they stop some other bastard will crop up who will do it, and take their flock with them as they do it.
