Religion is the tool, the vehicle to deliver ... a works based life structure
Which, imo, makes the Cruz Christianity connection suspect
I would believe the politic — it’s rah rah for the church/state mix. Business, I honestly am not familiar with it, can’t say one way or the other.
Works have a place in genuine Christian faith. They translate into reward for the saved soul. They don’t cause the salvation, however. Salvation is a restoration to the standpoint that mankind had before it fell, which was to gladly serve God as well as its fellow man in the name of God.
