Christianity IS a mechanism for hegemony among many other things (just like technology is a mechanism for hegemony and other things etc.). I think we generally agree: people will be people and good and bad will be done with or without religion, which was really just an example (so Korea was an example of an example? ok time to end it :P).

"For what it’s worth, I also find packaging aid to desperately poor people with religious ideology to be distasteful/awkward and agree that it is potentially abusive."

This was my main point and we agree :)
