He questions whether this is religion, or welfare. Or indeed, if those two are related anyway; secularism tends to encourage welfare societies, religion. Monbiot talks of "Puritan notions that money is a sign that you’ve been chosen by God and poverty is a mark of moral weakness".


To call it purely a Puritan notion is a bit iffy really. It's actually a common interpretation of Matthew 25:14-30 'Parable of the Talents'. Not the only interpretation mind you, but the most prevalent among US evangelicals.
