There are more than 1,500 references to money in the Bible, both old and new testament. For every verse you may find that talks about the 'evils' of money or the mismanagement of it, I can probably find one that says something different.
Religions do not encourage Individualism - it requires subserviance to God. And in this case “God” is manifested in any Religions hierarchy: a Pope, An Elder, A Pastor, or an Ayatollah - all of whom claim to speak for God.

Socialism as an ideology sounds wonderful but in practical application it fails miserably. When the first Pilgrims settled here they brought their European socialism and they literally starved and suffered great lack. When it was decided to let each family farm its own crops then the bounty increased. This led to what we celebrate as Thanksgiving! I heard this taught in a sermon by the late Dr. D. James Kennedy.
