Original sin model refers to the claim that the Abrahamic malaise is some deficiency in the Abrahamic perception that can be corrected or "saved". But actually, we know from Bala., that the Abrahamic operates in a completely different "configuration of learning" than the heathen. This configuration of learning persists as the abrahamic switches between any of the religions and their secular variants.
In the abrahamic model, it makes sense to speak of moderate vs. extreme interpretations or partisans. In the heathen model, we have only entities such a kshatriya, vaishya etc. The latter categories are a more accurate description of Reality, but are not amenable to propaganda.
