Money and wealth as the major religions in world.

[Ucy]

It's bad to accumulate wealth for selfish or wrong reasons. Better not to call it your own whether you have alot or not... That would mean using your wealth to help the needy and for the good of people/society. You can provide services, build good schools, industries with the wealth for the benefit of others. Alots of people do this to accumulate more wealth making it hard for everyone to afford their goods and services. 

Religion simply means serving the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth in Holiness and Righteousness.
You are not serving the CREATOR if you accumulate wealth while others are in need or can't afford your goods and services that earn you the wealth.

Trying to survive and thrive in a rigged system is one thing.
Your or other people's believes about God,the meaning or life,the creation of the universe or life after death are a completely different thing.Money and wealth doesn't provide any explanation about the meaning of life.
We live in a market economy and everything is measured in money.The fact that you are using money doesn't mean that you believe that money is a God or religion.Money is just a tool used to measure the value of goods and services and to re-distribute wealth by using the market system.

[Kusman]

It is really true that most people aim to make a lot of money and live a more comfortable life in terms of being able to afford whatever they would like. Honestly, I would also like to maintain earning a good amount of money to be able to buy the things I want easier. And it is a totally normal thing that people want. Who wouldn't like to reach the things they have dreamt so far in the end? This is the common goal of people.

[ChiBitCTy]

I dont understand why you have to compare the two.  I don't think anyone ( or most anyone ) is actually comparing their money and wealth to religions or do they see money and wealth as a "religion".  That really doesn't even make any sense.  Now maybe you're referring to greed, which I suppose there is certainly a good amount of that but comparing money as a religion I just don't understand.

I do not think that accumulating wealth is the bad part, you can accumulate wealth for any reason you want, of course it should not be to hurt other people, but if it is only for your own and doesn't hurt others then it is fine to have as much money as you want. It is HOW you accumulate wealth that matters. Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the world, kudos to him for having that much money, but how did he do it? He is paying people so little and giving them so little off time that people commit suicide while working there, yes you heard it right, the work there is so bad that people literally kill themselves. You can look this up, there has been a lot of suicides in amazon warehouses.

I am not even talking about the people who go to toilet in their delivery trucks or pee in bottles or the people who apply for food stamps because their salary is so low. Get as wealthy as you want, just don't do it in a bad way like Jeff did.

Actually, the purpose of everyone's life is to get comfort and sufficiency.
Wealth and title only as a vehicle to get the comfort of the human heart live in this world.
How high the position and wealth of humans if they do not have a sense of comfort, all of it is considered worthless.

[Hydrogen]

The cultural shift towards worshipping money and power could be palpable and easy to define.

In the 1970s to 1980s, many gang leaders in the united states encouraged gang members to settle disputes with break dance battles rather than violence. That could represent an idealistic and civilized perspective of an era where human life, honor and values are recognized.

At some more recent point in history, the majority involved in gangs and organized crime sold out and became all about money and power. They don't encourage people to be honorable or settle fights with break dance battles anymore. All they care about is money. Human life is worth nothing to them.

That precedent also applies to the business world, religion and many aspects of life. There are many examples and historical trends which define the shift.

Around the time of the great depression, sears sold prefabricated houses. Due to the great depression many who bought prefab homes from sears could not afford payments. Sears declined foreclosing on their homes as they deemed it immoral. Could anyone imagine banks behaving like that today.

Long story short, money and wealth rising to prominence as dominant ideology is definitely a thing. But perhaps there is room for some type of backlash and counter culture movement towards the polar opposite. Its up to people to decide what type of world they want to live in.

[King Khaizan]

In today's materialistic world, many humans live like robots. Every day is imprisoned with routine work that seems endless to achieve one goal: money. This thing is so hailed, praised and fought for until the last drop of blood. How to find it is not important anymore, the important thing is to be able to. Hitting and elbowing each other, even with their own friends and family, is considered a common thing to get this object. They forget that life is not forever. They forget, that life is not just to collect the coffers of wealth. They forget that life is not only about material things.

All that happens because the brain and mind have been closed by worldly lust and lust. Yes, that's humans who are never satisfied with what they have. When you don't have a car, you want to have a motorbike. When you have a motorbike, you want to take a car. When you have 1 car, you want to have 2 cars. Endless.

How long do we have to be slaves to the world? Life is too beautiful and precious to spend just chasing the world and everything in it. Real wealth is in the form of blessings of life, body health, togetherness with beloved family, and happiness when you can share with others.

You only live once, so use it well to benefit others. Isn't the best human being the one who can benefit others and those around him? Life is really about giving, giving and giving. We must be able to leave a legacy for the next generation. If an elephant dies leaving tusks, a tiger dies leaving stripes, then humans die leaving behind their deeds and works. So, when we leave this world, we smile happily and others cry because of loss.

Throughout history, no one has ever been honored for what he has received. Honor is an award for those who have given something meaningful to those around them.

Money or wealth is the dream destination of many people in the world

Religion is the total believe of a group people on a particular being.
Most or everyone in the world today in which I am included believe in accumulating of wealth and making money.

Indeed, everyone definitely needs money because many things can be obtained from it, but many have also found happiness other than money. for someone who is religious, spiritual things that can make life happier or grateful for what they have, and in fact happiness comes from the heart.

More than Half of the life span of the human race is centred on making of money or wealth.

Making money legally or illegally, accumulating of wealth is the believe of most people in the world.

I stand to be corrected or cencitize

Are there people that only think about obtaining material wealth? Of course but they are not the majority, and if people have to spend that much time working is because that is what it is necessary to survive, and the ones that can avoid working for money, guess what? They have money so they can avoid to work if they want, money is many times blamed by the problems of the world, but money is just a tool, and it is up to each person to decide how to use it correctly.

Nowadays, people are working hard to pay enough basic requirements and that's why everyone has to earn money and participate in society.
I can't even count anything entertaining here, just the basics about it. But money and religion are two different realms. You are talking about money, then you are talking about reality. For myself, I believe it's all about making enough money, this is where you can't sustain yourself but can help others. There is no happiness without kindness and in order to perform kindness we must have money.

[boyptc]

It is the reality about life.

We are living to make money and we need money to keep living. That's why there are people who are working smartly and they're trying to beat the process through their smart thinking legally and solving world problems.

That's the best way to accumulate wealth.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Speak for yourself mate. We all want money and there is no doubt about that, but for every rational and sane person, there are quite a few things like family, loved ones, spouse, good health and love, that may just come ahead of making money.

If only those things did come before money for a lot of people, but if the internet is anything to go by, it doesn't seem like that's the case.  I can't even watch a random Youtube video without hearing about how much money people are making by being "influencers" and it drives me crazy.  I probably need to get some fresh air, if you know what I mean.

I don't know what OP's point is either, but keep in mind that this is a forum about bitcoin.  It's a given that many members here are concerned about money, whether it's having enough, making more, or just interest in discussions about economics.  Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that most members of bitcointalk are trying to earn money right on this site.  Welcome to the forum, OP.

[Rajamuda]

We all have different paths and even some common steps. Money is like a complement in human life, but basically to make money takes hard work and sometimes we have to face certain risks. Regarding wealth, everyone certainly wants wealth, but here it takes extraordinary efforts, and indeed it would be better if it was based on religious beliefs. This does not mean equating money or wealth with religion, but it will be more beautiful if it is legal and based on the way of each religion.

[EewardDean]

Nowadays, people are not for profit or fame and fortune. This is what we pursue in our life. Learning knowledge in school is to graduate and have a better job. The purpose is the same, in order to earn more. Wealth to support myself and my family, in order to live a life that I yearn for and a happy life.

I can see your post to be contradictory, but what you are talking about which I later find out it that people aim is wealth, profit and fortunate. If that's what you are taking about, you are right. Going to school is to educate in a way to be better and make money in life. The world is purely about money. Some people now do not care if the way they get the money is legit or not, all what they care about is to get money even without thinking about others. That is why we need to be very careful because scammers are increasing everyday.

There are various difficulties on the road to making money, not only for external reasons but also for internal reasons. There are always plans that cannot keep up with changes. It is not just competition among peers, all people in society, your peers. They are all competitors who want to beat you.
And everyone has a different starting point, and some people are born with many things that we can't reach.

It is good that you are not generalizing everyone to be a lover of money because some people like to be known with the religion they belief in , they belief that it will give eternal life and glory to God and so money would or not can not matter to them. Money is good to everyone one of us because it help life to be good but we need have some thinking about how we chase after money because our soul is also important too.

But we don't only go to school just for money but also to develop the core values that we started at home. So its not only about money matters but also for spiritual values too. But i agree on you, money is still our motivation why we need to work hard  because almost all of our basic needs requires  money for survival. And yet, when you have the money already, people tend to ask for more. This is the reason why some people chose to acquire money in illegal ways. Not really good but this is the reality now. People chose to make money even if it means taking advantage with the others' rights.

[Wong Gendheng]

It can be said that everyone always thinks of money, they think that with money all problems can be solved and the current measure of happiness is money, everything is done to get money and does not care about religious norms, indeed nowadays everything needs money but we are realistic that there are many things that can make us happy besides money, for example, health and family.
