This is hardly original. Nietzsche was saying that leftism is basically Christianity without God over a hundred years ago.

Leftism has elements of Christianity but as a whole its radically different. It has much more in common with tikkun olam Judaism than Christianity.

I don't see how it's radically different at all.

That's nonsense. Judaism doesn't have a universal message like Christianity has. Christianity is also far more egalitarian in its essence.
