once the bloody wars in the world were caused by religions, for example the crusades or the missionary expansion, of islam and christianity

today

especially with the nature of the second world war

wars have become all about money, debt and financial authority.

if we research the religious systems of the past we can clearly find an interconnection because islam, christianity and hindusm and konfizianism had also a limited monetery power system, that defined power those that make money and those that sell their time for it.

this is going to be the future. no way to escape that. except brainwashing the population again with a religion

I think that there is an clear option to both religion and money. If we drop the faith in money and replace it with faith in morals and the humanity we could work and contribute to humanity instead of our own self interest. We could just remove money and produce all the food / water / electricity humanity needs for the purpose of humanity and what its best for it or to do what is morally reasonable.
We could remove politics and banks and start using the resources we have for the greater good instead of letting air money that dosen´t even exists stop us. We could build something that is meant to last instead of being consumed and replaced. We could focus on the best of humans instead of selling medicines and putting a price of decent health care.

If we simply believed in the best of humanity more then our egoistic agendas, money and deceptive politicians, we could further science and change the world without obstacles such as money and politics along with patents and regulations.

A nice thought at least Smiley

I believe that religion is associated with power and power is interrelated with money. Hence, the power of religion also depends on the money they have. And to be able to gain money as much as they can, they must hold a great number of population to give the financial needs the institution should have. In relation to this, as much as they are gaining money, they gain more people also. Hence, they are becoming more persuasive and determined to maintain that power when it comes to people and money to the point were they are making a fool out of the people. They tend to make lies for the institution to become more powerful. The primary intention of a religion nowadays, does not hold anymore to its original purpose.

Without money you can't control the anything, even you can't control your people without money. in this era, the financial agreement is the base of friendship. All the country try to make the new country their friends for their export benefits.

I'd change some of the wording from your first post and say that the reasons for war have come from money, debt, business interests, and so on and so forth. Even during the times of religion filled wars, I do think that the controlling of an areas religion was also a conquest of money -- as religions are able to collect de facto taxes from the people that are following their religion (or are forced to be following their religion)

This world is one which is filled with greed, it always has been and it always will be filled with greed. You can't change that, sadly.
