Read Ben Franklin. Read Max Weber. The latter wrote "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism."

The former wrote Poor Richard's Almanac. If old Ben had NOT been right, Richard would still be poor.

Ben Franklin recognized the old protestant work ethic was good for capitalism but Ben himself was a staunch deist.
