I think that Original Sin plays a major part in a few of the more exclusionary sects of Christianity. It's a mechanism to help sort THEM from US. It's an "All GOD's chillun got Original Sins but only WE got the magic bullet" artifact. It helps them justify internally their exclusionary practices and gives them a certain amount of cover.
In most cases it is even explained and justified incorrectly. Many of the strong supporters of the concept of Original Sin point to Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. But while a curse was laid on the two of them (more on Eve than Adam), the reason they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden had nothing to do with that act. So if eating the forbidden fruit was insufficient cause to get thrown out of the Garden of Eden, it's unlikely to have been a sin of such magnitude that it would get passed down generation after generation.
