Aaron needed two goats, one is for their God to expitiate sin of Jews that was made in the past. Another one is for the guardian of goat to atone sin of people that will be made in future, therefore the goat was left alive and fleed. Judaism was developed in Jewish people first, but there was a manifest possibility to evolve into world belief from its origin. It is no strange the scapegoat was considered prefiguration of the Saviour soon to come. In order for them to prepare for the future sacrifice, the goat was left alive in the feast.
Sinful nature of humans is posited in contrast with the nature of God. It's simply a mistake if part of us started blaming someone in an attempt to stratify social class. That is the very thing religion prevent us from doing so. The word scapegoat might have been used to refer to the people who had suffered from this baseless accusation, but originally it ought to mean invaluable heroes of our times. Christ deserves this role.
