  Honestly no. Which part? The themes of Snow Crash include anarcho-corporatism, psychological hacking, and virtual reality. Which of those involves ancient artifacts, smuggling, and Christian craft stores?

    L. Bob Rife used an Evangelical Christian church as a cover for his plan to spread the mind-virus that he developed from the information in ancient Sumerian tablets.

      Bingo, I was mainly thinking of a large christian organization acquiring ancient artifacts from the middle east.

        The big bad organization wasn't Christian though. They just acted like they were.

    >In Snow Crash, a sinister industrialist has obtained and translated ancient nam-shubs and is using them to wreak linguistic havoc in the modern world. [1] >Yes. These practical Kabbalists used a so-called 'archangelic alphabet', derived from first-century Greek and Aramaic theurgic alphabets, which resembled cuneiform. The Kabbalists referred to the alphabet as 'eye-writing,' because the letters were composed of lines and small circles, which resembled eyes.

    Snow Crash also features the Tower of Babel, Sumerian language, and Eurasian refugees. I can see the connection... it's fairly vague though.
