I should probably re-read _Mists_ and see if it's really critiquing Christianity as a whole or only certain aspects of it that she presumably thought harmful.

Well, its been about 10 years since I read it last, but IIRC, I got the distinct impression that she was attacking both the patriarchal nature of the Church (Which one can argue whether it is core to the faith or not), and the Church's exclusive claim to Truth. Christianity, and in my humble opinion, all the Abrahamic religions rest on claims of an exclusive truth. You might disagree about whether they represent that truth, but if you disagree that such a truth agrees, then there is really no terms by which you can engage traditional Christianity.
Also, if I remember correctly, she protrayed St. Patrick as a bad guy. Come on, I can't let that pass right around St. Patrick's Day
