No, but that's close to my point.
Both Christianity and Islam offer something hopeful for those with less, who some might characterize was 'losers.'
But Christianity and Islam offer different moral codes, rituals, conducts. They are clearly not the same, and they clearly take their followers to different places.
I think both religions have aspects that appeal to what most people would call 'losers.' That's not a bad thing, in itself. And I wouldn't characterize Christianity as a religion exclusively or largely for losers.

Good post. That's sort of what I was getting at but couldn't express.
