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 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"
