    I read a quote by an Indian author, Khushwant Singh, “Morality is a matter of money, that’s why poor people have relegion”.

      Makes things even more scummy when you look at religions with tithing or branches emphasizing things like prosperity gospel. People without the money to spare fork it over anyway in the hope that their faith will be rewarded but it never is. Better off buying lottery tickets since even though odds of winning are low, at least they’re higher than zero.
