Personally I wouldn't take money and wealth as my religions.
I think money and wealth is just a way to support you to reach the goal and dream of your life.
Some people like to hold power and some people like to travel to as many places as they can in their life, and they need money to do that.
If they can do that without money, then I don't think they will be much interested in accumulating wealth.
No matter how much wealth you accumulated, you can't bring them into your grave anyways.
Topic: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. - page 12. (Read 2004 times)
I don't know about that. People will definitely love the concept of money and being rich but to compare it with a full-scale religion like Islam and Christianity with doctrines that every follower abides. Money and Wealth do have people coming after them but what are the bounds for these people to follow, what is the payoff? Money had become so embedded into everyone's lives and to have people chasing after it is understandable. We can't really blame them when retaliation means starvation.
I hate to admit it but the reality is that money is almost everything for us because without it, then we will have no means to survive. Most of our basic needs require money so we will be able to sustain it. The only thing i guess that is free today is the air we breath, but if you are hospitalized, still you are going to pay for the oxygen you used.I don't think so. Religion represents a belief, and money is just a pursuit in people's lives. I think you must have never been to Mecca. I am not a Muslim, but I was shocked when I saw thousands of Muslims praying in Mecca. No matter what their status is, whether they are rich or not, everyone prays to their God equally. This is religion. And money is only the most basic pursuit of mankind, far from being worthy of being compared with religion.
Agree. There's no belief system in money and wealth. The thing is that people demonize wanting money so much but if you come to think of it, wanting more money makes sense. Living in a world like this that is overrun by the rich and the lack of money means starvation, if not death, you have no choice but to chase after money altogether. People should snap out of this stupid hatred against money because it is illogical, no matter how much they say "money can't buy happiness" However, money and wealth should never be treated as a religion i think. Religion has its spiritual purposes, while money sometimes if not wisely used, may cause the root of evil just to satisfy one's desires.

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.
Unfortunately there is very little people that can do something like that and instead they need to work harder and not smarter to achieve their goals, and this means they need to invest the majority of their time and energy to their jobs which in return it means that they do not have as much time for their families and this in return creates a lot of other issues especially if this person has kids as kids need attention as well and someone like that most likely will not give them the attention that they need. 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.
Money is more important and harder to make money than ever in this day and age when things are constantly increasing in value. People are dependent on products manufactured in factories by multinational corporations.
The world has more money and the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. That's an undeniable fact, and it's been proven even more in the US as the past year, unemployment and homelessness have increased.
Money becomes more valuable and everyone craves money.

Actually even those people who claim that money is not the most important in this life still go to the work to have it. But don't forget of course, that money is not the final goal. I think that people should think about things that they can get when they get a big sum of money wich they strive for. Because money is useless if you don't buy anything and only save.

People these days made money as their God, they're more focused on making money instead of spreading good news from scriptures. Cryptocurrency is our good alternative for taking our finances in virtual world, but faith is very important rather than relying on money all alone. Religion was just a form of guidance but won't save us from our problems, but that shouldn't stop us from growing financially.
Maybe this happens to many people.
They are like making money and power as a very state. Even many of them are willing to do anything to get this wealth and power.
In this case, maybe not as religions but more as Beliefs.
But of course, this does not apply to some other people, including me. Even many rich people because of Crypto but they did not show off their wealth and consider this wealth as extraordinary.
Because we can also learn from the Crypto market, that we can lose everything or most in a fairly short time.

The correction is that you just have to speak for yourself and not necessarily generalized the whole thing. Making money is seriously deferent from wealth making. One just need to make money for survival and those that has enough are people trying to make more and become wealthy, such people are usually afraid of being again and is why they want safe money for their children yet unborn.
Modern times like now make people only focus on looking for wealth, everything always requires money so without money it will be difficult for people, to be rich is certainly not easy, people have to work hard until they sleep less than 5 hours, this is of course a big problem for people. humanity because when people only focus on being rich, they don't care about other people.
it is not without reason, because there is a proverb we still live without money and money is not everything.but the problem is that now the times are different and indeed there are even a lot of people who worship money for now, because now everything will run smoothly if there is money.
even roughly speaking, we still need money to make money.
an example that occurs in my country now, when people who graduate from school or college they will instinctively look for work to support their lives to be even better. but on the other hand when we want to start working there must be some bad guys who ask for money in advance to make it easier.
although this is very abnormal. but this can prove that there are still many people who worship money in their lives.
Maybe the necessities of life today are indeed higher, so many people end up obsessed with money. Like you said, it's not strange to find people
who worship money, because many people think money is everything. So a lot of people are doing all kinds of ways to make money, it is proven
nowadays if we have a lot of money life is much easier. That's the reality that is happening in this world right now. In the end, we find that many
people are willing to do illegal things to get rich, it sounds scary to me. Maybe the solution is we have to have a religion, and worship a lot according
to our respective religions, so our thoughts are not only about money.

Two Elements in Life Money and religion are different contexts. You are talking about money, then you are talking about reality. You must seek it in order to survive or fulfill your greed, or else you will fall into misery. Religion is about spirituality. Although they make no promises of money, people always worship them and it fills them with hope. For most people, earning enough money for their basic needs is what motivates them. . There have been cases where people, no matter how rich, could not make them happy. The important thing is that we all have to train ourselves to think that accepting all reality and trying to rise up on our own can't depend on anyone.

My bad, I thought nation states were the major religions in the world nowadays. "My country this... My country that... I feel so safe within my country borders"
How can you blame the people, that's how the world works and that's how the owners of the world wants to make the world go round. The one with those will be able to influence the world big time.
I can blame people very very easily because we have the power to change that a lot. There are many people who keep saying that they will tax the rich a lot, and I mean by a whole lot margin and use that money to help the poor people, and we would have a much fair world where the resources are enough for everyone. However, people keep on voting for people who will end up helping the wealthy and hurt the poor and for some reason they are convinced that it is a good thing.I personally believe that it is totally a bad thing to end up voting for those people who believe it will trinkle down to poor people because for the past 50 years it hasn't been trinkling down at all, poor people are getting even more poor these days. This is why I believe that people are the ones who are responsible here, we are all equally responsible for this bad world we are living in right now.
This might sound too rude to a lot of people but this is really the truth, our lives have been created this way that we are never satisfied and always try to fetch every luxury of the world, whenever we reach a certain level we further try to get one step ahead, I think nature has created us this way and we are bound by that, even Economics is based on the concept of limited resources but unlimited wants, also there isn't any shame in accepting this a human should do whatever keeps them happy even if it's money.
Here I agree with your point but still it's not all about nature many things happen from different way many peoples those have some good education never fall for things like this or never feel unsatisfied because I personally have much experience about these things many are living happy with their small ways and drop these luxuries because they feel not happy with them. This all can bring changes with education and community relationship we are losing many things just because of this technology and this is also bringing some serious chaos in our lives.Nature has created humans to do what keeps them happy, Education I don't think can play a role in this, what I am trying to say is that I can never say that people living in their small ways are right and are living life accurately and at the same time I can also not agree that people working for 18+ hours are living they are correctly.
I have a different meaning of life and you would have one too, but for 90% of the people money is the motivating factor.
I'm going to comment on the ambition for money. Although it is not a very focused issue on what OP raises, it is also derived by money.
There are people who receive help to obtain an income for example a job and they do not show due appreciation for the person who allowed them to get to work. Instead what they show is ambition and greed.
Why are there such people?
The answer can be many, what I can say is that when one does something for the benefit of one person or more, those actions are priceless, they are incalculable, because they are presented at the right time and when one needs it most. Let us not lose our humility, let us be grateful because the actions of goodwill are not paid for by money.

There is no two opinion on your argument that indeed, most of us have made wealth our ultimate aim and dream. It's like as if we are its slave, that we do anything for it, but then again, we forget, we are weak beings made of flesh and blood and no matter how much wealth we acquire, it will end in the end, and at the time of end, we will realise how much truly we have been a loser that in the chase of money, we never stopped and live our life normally and enjoy the beauty of life and existence, we lost our time, we lost our bondings, we lost our potential.
