Matrix is a film espousing Nietzche's philosophy, which is antithetical to Christian "slave morality" - as Nietzche dismissed it. Neo is not the anointed one, but the Uebermensch, unbound by the peasant Christian moral dualism, but who writes "new laws onto new tablets." The protagonists in the Matrix is not interested in saving anyone; their only goal is to destroy the Matrix, even if such endeavor will kill most of the drones connected to the system. Only those worthy enough for the new world order will survive, the chose few of Nierzche's disciples, while the rest are expendable. Early in the film, Morpheus instructs Neo that all those connected to the Matrix, ie the so-called 99%, are potential hostiles.
The Uebermench is beyond good and evil, and, as his final act displays, ends the Matrix (the social, cultural, and moral system) unilaterally. Neo is not a "liberator," but the one who sits at the top of the pyramid. How will the muck navigate their environment, when all social, cultural, and moral references have been erased? They will follow the will of the Uebermensch. The tenets of the film Matrix is closer to the tenets of NSDAP, albeit without the racial overtones.
In the post-Matrix universe, only the will to power determine values. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. The "slave morality" of Christianity, in which the victim is given prominence, the meek inherit the Kingdom, the poor are extolled, etc. are washed away, "like tears in rain." The Christian revolution gave voice to the muck - ie the 99% - at the expense of their betters. The world ushered in by Neo is a universe of pre-Christian moral norms, where crushing the weak beneath the boots of Imperial legions is a Kantian moral imperitive.
Frankly, I've yet to come across another online character who encapsulates the personality profiles of the archons of the demiurge in such an accurate manner. But I do agree that both Christianity and Islam failed to understand who and what the Christ was...As did Judaism but from the Christian Gnostic perspective that would have been predictable...
