I don't know. Christianity tells the same story, and that worked well enough, but there's always the question of whether people don't go crazy because of the fairy tale, or whether they look for the fairy tale to keep themselves from becoming depressed over their powerlessness.
It's a story that's still deeply embedded in cultural storytelling even as society becomes less religious. I can't tell whether it's not working well because people are discontent or whether it's working well because without it they'd run amok.
