Ideas are for everyone. Wealth is -- beside the point. Good, productive ideas lead to good, productive results. Bad, impoverished ideas lead to bad, impoverished results. Most Islamic countries only survive by stealing from productive countries, as Islam is a "kleptocracy" -- take by power, consume, and multiply (Islamic) ***instead of*** work, be productive, and multiply (Judeo-Christian.) This is why Israel is so successful and all those Palestinian, Islamic surrounding nations are so impoverished.
Ideas are like tools: use them well, and you'll get good results. Use them poorly, and well....
So a "religion" is nothing but a set of rules (ideas) one uses to live one's life. The simplest religion I know is: "One heartbeat always follows another." So the basic difference in direction between Islam and Christianity can be found in Qur'an 9:5, which basically says, "Kill your enemies" and Matthew 5:44, which clearly says, "Love thine enemies." See the difference?
But -- this is getting off topic, which should be Tesla oriented.
