I am a non-religious person but I have studied some of the major world religions, and I realize that the earth is our common home but we are dividing it and keeping it apart. In the context of an increasingly developed society, perhaps hidden information and knowledge will gradually be exposed. And society will have changes and there will be things in common to bring people together, I have researched about Buddha Dharma and I see some philosophies that uphold truth and equality among all births are upheld. And I firmly believe that if anyone can see and understand that, to apply it, the competition will gradually disappear, and we will build a cleaner planet in all aspects.

It seems that you are only looking at it from a religious point of view. I do not care if you are religious or not and also do not need a detailed explanation of the religion you are studying. The context that we are discussing this time is the relationship between religion and the economy, not just about religion. I just want to hear opinions on what the relationship between the two is.

I would guess that some religions do have economical rules about it as well. For example interest is not allowed in Islam, they do not allow that at all, it's against the rules of the religion. Obviously they are not going to just not take interest, that would be a stupid thing to do, so they "rebranded" it as "profit sharing" instead of interest, and they are still taking interest.

It's a way of following the rules of Islam by using a different name for the same thing basically, it makes them feel better about it and like they are not committing any sin. So, some religions do have some economical rules and that is why it could be very important difference for some people.
