and how exactly does this prove that anything in it is something other than absolute bollocks?

This religion has specific guidelines in all aspect of life unlike most mainstream religions. Such a guide will help you keep safe from debt, addiction and unhealthy lifestyle.

Here are some tangible examples:

1. Money must be backed by Gold/Silver. If this can't be done, then be backed by some hard commodity.

2. Financial transactions must share profits/loss. No interest/usury transactions what so ever. It is prohibited to devalue a nation's currency.

3. There is a certain way you are suppose to feed and slaughter cattle/chicken/lamb, ...etc. This approach helps keep the meat safe. Example, there are no instances of mad cow diseases in the Islamic nations. There is much less cancer rate in those countries compared to the west.

4. There is a certain way you are suppose to farm vegetables/fruits. Genetically modified food is against this religion.

5. Gives clear guidelines on alcohol ,drugs and gambling, to keep a follower from harming themselves and others.

... these are just some small examples.

In fact, these 5 guidelines is what the business world in the west hate the most.

They can't make big profits in debt-based finances, alcohol, gambling, drugs, casinos, GMO crops, ...etc. if you follow these 5 guidelines. This is why its demonized so much.
