I always have to read your posts several times to make sure I understand them. And you always have me agreeing with you by the end! I do think we may be defining CHristianity as myth slightly differently.
When I think of the mythology of Christianity, I'm not thinking so much of the religious aspect- the creed and the laws, the specific manifestations - as the symbolic.
THe beliefs that one would consider oppositional or unorthodox (like witchcraft)are considered so because we contrast them to an accepted base established by a predominantly Christian ethic. To me, the presence of the common myth doesn't necessarily imply everyone accepts it as his own truth, but as some sort of what? mark? for defining his own.

If the center isn't holding here, or if the world we now must join, not by domination, but coexistence based on acceptance and respect, works off a different symbolic base, then can we communicate?
