Thats a bit overly simplistic dont you think? It doesnt just rip on Christians for living life by a set of rules, it denounces Christianity for the supressions on 'real life' and its emphasis on guilt and abstinence. It celebrates a human beings inner desires and individuality. It is basically the antithesis to the Christian conventions, with a heavy influence from Crowley and Nietzsche.
I think some of it make sense, i take issue with a lot of Christian moralism. Yet some of it is utter tosh. If i was to pick a religious text it would have to be Buddhist based, the Tao Te Ching, Sutta Pitaka or Abhidhamma Pitaka perhaps
