I think that anybody can succeed in life irregardless of their spiritual orientation. Just as long as they had the right attitude and strong determination, I think anybody can succeed. In our world that is populated with so much "dog eat dog" personalities, one can only deduced that perhaps religious people cannot succeed. If one can analyze and therefore conclude that religious people cannot compete fiercely in the line or in the world of corporate world.

Oops, unfinished comment there. Anyway, I think that being religious does not disqualify anyone from being successful. As a matter of fact, they are the ones that do succeed! For most part, they are the ones who follow and does not trample on anybody just to get ahead. Thus, they are the ones who easily thread life towards success because nobody is on their way that will inhibit them from doing so.

Yes, i don't see why not? Being religious doesn't deprive a man of his daily life and work. Being religious doesn't mean they gave their entire time and life to the religion, unless believing in religion is able to provide good life for his family? Take care of his basic necessities, bills, expenses? It doesn't make sense right?

Of course. Honest businessmen (and women) are just as successful as dishonest ones. You just hear less about them because they're honest! My biggest freelance client is an honest, religious individual who makes runs a 6-figure business with a 5-figure personal income every month. He's really nice, both to work with and on a personal level.

Does it make any difference? Or are you having a certain lack of faith in your God? Most religious people trust God to help them! I don't see where you stand on this!

Of course? Unless you refuse to wear suits.. I know of many catholics/christians who are very successful working in businesses. Just because of their religion it shouldn't matter, it's whether they have the people skills and math skills in order to be a successful businessman.
