@Tacky;interesting error for you.

The LOVE of money is said to be the root of all evil.

The phrase derives from a saying attributed to Jesus in the Apostle Paul's First Epistle to Timothy in the New Testament: "The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10, KJV). The expression is commonly misquoted as simply "Money is the root of all evil". A more accurate rendering from the original Greek may be: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil," (New American Standard Bible).

I think the Hindus and Buddhist are probably closer.The root of evil is desire/attachment,which leads to suffering.

BUT detachment does not mean indifference. The Buddha said: "Above all,loving kindness"
