You Don't Have To Do Religion Anymore, If You Don't Want To!

RE: You Don't Have To Do Religion Anymore, If You Don't Want To!
History can be said to be more about economics than religion.  Economics happens among non-literate species.  It is common among literate species, humanity even, worldwide.  Overlooked even by liberals:  Religion also evolved.  Further overlooked, mathematics also evolved.   By itself that is alleged in the OP, indirectly, to not be support for an atheist contention.  It is useful instead:  To note how believers have variously been led to contentions of divinity intent.  

So Old and New Testament allege contentions of divinity intent.  The applications of the usury contentions are not only then material--not spiritual--but barbaric:  Not at all supportive even of human productive relationships.  The dynasties of ancient Egypt created subjugation, and were so-based and celebrated.  Old Testament creates an accepted history.  Deuteronomy mainly furthers the subjugation concept, with basis in arithmetic usury.  The instruction of Deut 23:  19-20, is a political alliance of tribes--not permitted usury.  The instruction of Deut 23:  19-20, is to gouge and screw all peoples worldwide, in the name of the law--usury.

Critical point:  "Name of The Law," and so arithmetic.  There is a competing claim to the ascendancy of any deity:  The Law, subset, arithmetic.
Any deity assertions of ascendancy are not supported. Humanity creations are supported.

The Greeks created heavens easily regarded fables and mythologies.  Imperial Rome also supported fables and mythologies, but also the antiquities of Egypt.  Then the likely scripted fables of the New Testament gospels--around the campfires, stories created, (or in the noted beer halls), were created!  Then 700 years later, attention mainly focused on Matt 25:  14-30, the recorded usury example.  Mohammed prohibited wealth from "Riba," usury.  

So the gospel fable sets up an atrocity-based arithmetic of rewards and outcomes.  Casting out the lesser rewarded rational:  Is offered without remedy.  The predators are rewarded, not some deity's plan.  Humanity had become aware of the marketplace.  That was also not rewarded, the predators were rewarded.  

Adam Smith would celebrate regulated usury.  Karl Marx would propose usury international in Communist Manifesto, central credit.  Keynes would created speeding money, (velocity), with basis in usury.  The arithmetic of the law--going back 4000 or more years--was not included in even that plan.  

Anything Holy was clearly not.  The back-drop arithmetic in New Testament--Matt 20:  1-16--was widely never noted.  No further deity ascriptions were occurring.

Now, in the OP there is a box.  Personal income raises, from usury, are shown using the diagonal.  That money even has a different accounting.  Any credit on which it is based has repayment terms.  The Keynesian-type money, famous deficit spending:  Is now regarded even a different accounting.  It is "Fiat Money," government backed.  It is endlessly never paid off. After Reagan-Bush, in the United States:  Chelsea Clinton was not celebrated for still accepting an allowance in U.S. money.  Conservatives were likely gagging themselves.

Someone like myself, maybe lonely about it:  Could report, "These people have The Bomb"  Currency was still mineral-backed.  It was no longer gold and silver.  Now there is U-235, and U-238.

There is no allegation of deity at all engaged in any such reading of history--or any more, of Current Events!
