—“Fallacies do not curtail considerable plutocratic tendencies just because fascistic aristocracies fail to maintain religious hegemony. Hierarchies are only plausible when there is a presence of theocratic organic infrastructure to support the underlying anti-dialogist systems.”—
—“Take everything Curt says with a grain of salt. Better yet, an entire saltlick.”—Eugene Ix
You will need the salt – for eating your straw man.
I don’t say a mythology wasn’t necessary.
I didn’t say religion wasn’t necessary.
I said, one consisting of falsehoods isn’t.

Hierarchies always exist always and everywhere. The question is which means of rule are used to achieve them. Force is the most expensive but most truthful method of rule. Religion of lies is cheaper than force, but more expensive than markets. So whether we are ruled by some narrative, some law, some market is a matter of demographics, productivity, cost, institutions of cooperation.
Just as people evolved to negotiate not to tell the truth, and we require the scientific method to assist us, Religions evolved to excuse or explain, but it is law that causes behavior.
One can conflate religion and law. One can deconflate them as the west has always done. I recommend we maintain deconflation, and create religion our of founding myths, and our long history of heroes.
In other words: YOU CREATE LIES IF YOU ARE WEAK. AND TRUTH IF YOU ARE STRONG. And you use truth (history, trade, law) if you want wealth. Lies are cheaper if you have ignorant people at the cost of impoverishing them. Small numbers that wish to rule, require advanced technology and professional warriors.
Hierarchies always exist everywhere and every-‘when’. All that differs is the manner in which we excuse them so that the classes can operate cooperatively. But the lesson of history is simple: truth out-competes lies. Everyone who adopted reason (truth) benefitted from it. greeks->romans->muslims->northern europeans -> much of the world today.
But each civilization fails to preserve truth because (a) they don’t know how to do otherwise, and (b)they have no institutional method of preserving it sufficiently to prevent re-institution of lies for the purpose of parasitism.
Ergo, Natural Law Fundamentalism. Heroic Literary myths.
Or to put it in terms of the western group evolutionary strategy;
Sovereignty(negative or limit). Heroism(positive or opportunity).
