"There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third is by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God* in his favor, as reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry." Ben Franklin

This still says it all.....

in no way am I supporting any particular religious organization over another.
