You always send me Googling John! :) I don't know about God is dead,well yes he is dead to most people. Many Christians preach one thing and quite blithely practice quite another.
My thoughts about sun worship are that when you see that sun rising, with it's rays that reach out to seemingly touch everything. When you realize that that sun makes plants/food grow, warms us,gives us light, without the sun there is nothing! It's no wonder that ancients worshiped it. When you think about it, it is godly!
Many forms of worship are simply symbolic actions or the worship of something that symbolizes something else. Dollar worship is still a huge step down from Celestial symbolism.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

The Sun replaced God and money seems to have replaced the Sun as the thing most worshiped by man.
and the power that money buys...

But the worship of the dollar seems to be more powerful.
