In my country, when someone wants to start a business, he will do the worshipping and praying to Gods, he will ask priests to find out an “auspicious day” to start the business. Whether the person is establishing a manufacturing plant, a shop, or a small food cart, the business is not started without worshipping Gods. Even in the office, you will see people keeping pictures and statues of deities. Every morning they will light a lamp and incense sticks.
Despite doing all sorts of religious things, not all businesses succeed.
People pray and worship Gods not only when they are in personal problems like losing someone, but also when they have professional problems like losing business. Do these people believe that God actually hears their prayers? I find these acts very skillful, do these people think Gods are like our father and mother who listens to your petty grievances?
I am not an atheist, I believe in God. My belief in God is a little different. In my opinion, God's creation runs on autopilot mode. He does not directly interfere with world affairs. God is Almighty who does not care for human beings' pathetic desires.
Belief in God is good, but bringing God to your personal and professionl life is not very good
