They are general reasons that could be found in any organized religion, even in religions that are Christiandom religions. So those reasons do not put down Jews or Islamic people and the others for them being Jews and Islamic and such, but for any religion having that agenda, even a Christian religion. But #5 puts down Judaism and Islam and Hinduism and the others because they do not have their agenda centered in Christ ... And that could mean to a subset of readers that the people in those religions could feel put downWhat about reason #1?
> > 1. to get rich
Is it only important that Jews and Muslims don't feel put down? What about members of a church whose reason is to get rich?
